Research direction
First, locate the class that wraps the POI sheet object (e.g., ExcelWriterSheet or similar). Look for existing methods that delegate to POI's XSSFSheet, such as setTabColor or setSheetColor. Examine how other sheet properties like sheet name or zoom are set. Then implement a method that calls XSSFSheet.setTabColor() after casting the underlying sheet to XSSFSheet. Ensure the method is exposed in the easyexcel API with proper documentation. Check issue comments for any maintainer hints. Reference POI documentation for setTabColor: https://poi.apache.org/apidocs/dev/org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/XSSFSheet.html#setTabColor(int).
