Is this what you were after?

from pyExcelerator import *
w = Workbook()
ws = w.add_sheet('boo')
style = XFStyle()
fore_colour = style.pattern.pattern_fore_colour
back_colour = style.pattern.pattern_back_colour
ws.write (1, 1, "fore_colour")
ws.write (1, 2, fore_colour)
ws.write (2, 1, "back_colour")
ws.write (2, 2, back_colour)
text = "ABCDE"
row = 5
for offset in range(-32,512):
row += 1
fnt = Font()
fnt.colour_index = fore_colour + offset
style.font = fnt
ws.write(row, 3, offset, style)
ws.write(row, 5, text, style)
p = Pattern()
p.pattern_fore_colour = fore_colour + offset
p.pattern = style.pattern.SOLID_PATTERN
style.pattern = p
ws.write(row, 6, text, style)
w.save('test.xls')
