How can I copy and paste the background color only?

I know I can use the F4 command and it will copy the last entry. The problem is I need to copy an entire sheets background color only once I have created my template in excel. I created a template with many different different background colors. So I would like to be able to click on an entire sheet and copy just the background colors and paste it into another sheet with different calculations. I tried to make just a template of the colrs but when I copy and paste it the data is deleted and replaced with the colors only.

Thank you  :-)

Hi, Unmaskedsubzero.
Please try to copy the format only. You can highlight the entire sheet or the cells you want to copy, paste to the new template using the function Paste Special > Formats
Thanks
