There is no chance to interact with Excel without using the actxserver. So please explain, why you want to avoid this. Until further notice, I would answer:

No, there is no way.

But it works with ActiveX: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/3352-how-to-set-excel-cell-color-to-red-from-matlab#answer_4983

Yes Jan, Thanks for your answer.. I am using through actxserver only.. i just curious to find is there any way to color by using just 'xlswrite' or similar commands.. Thanks again

No, there is no way to do this by xlswrite, which, by the way, is based on ActiveX also internally.
