POI setting Cell Background to a Custom Color

You get this error because pallete is full. What you need to do is override preset color.
Here is an example of function I’m using:

public HSSFColor setColor(HSSFWorkbook workbook, byte r,byte g, byte b){
    HSSFPalette palette = workbook.getCustomPalette();
    HSSFColor hssfColor = null;
    try {
        hssfColor= palette.findColor(r, g, b); 
        if (hssfColor == null ){
            palette.setColorAtIndex(HSSFColor.LAVENDER.index, r, g,b);
            hssfColor = palette.getColor(HSSFColor.LAVENDER.index);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        logger.error(e);
    }

    return hssfColor;
}

And later use it for background color:

HSSFColor lightGray =  setColor(workbook,(byte) 0xE0, (byte)0xE0,(byte) 0xE0);
style2.setFillForegroundColor(lightGray.getIndex());
style2.setFillPattern(CellStyle.SOLID_FOREGROUND);
