I see two possibilities for your experience:
* Your Windows version of LibO is from TDF, but your Linux version is
from a distro. Distro creators have a nasty habit of damaging the
software they include in their distro.
* Either the monitors or the video outputs for either your Windows box
or Linux box are not correctly calibrated.

My recommendation would be to create your own colour palettes, tailored
for your specific use-case. Whenever you update/install LibO, copy your
custom palettes over the default stuff.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Font colors on Windows vs. Linux

[Steve Edmonds]

And hence why some time ago I created my own palette so I had
portability and continuity for my document editing.
It particularly hit home for me with diagrams in Draw when I had to edit
the palette file to overwrite the changes.
I now have a default template and another template with all my styles
and my custom palette stored outside my profile so I can quickly restore
these if things change.

https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/04/10/new-standard-color-palette/


In it you will see that color palettes have been evolving over the years 
with LO. It shows three different palettes that have been used as 
"standard" in the past five years or so. You'll find yours with gray 
shaded light to dark from left to right and others with gray shaded dark 
to light from left to right.


I also learned that the palette that a given LO installation uses is 
somehow stored in the user profile. By renaming the profile on my older 
Linux LO installation, it updated my standard palette to match that on 
my newer Windows LO installation.


That's not necessarily a great solution for me as I now have dozens of 
Impress presentations with colors that are no longer found on the new 
standard palette, not to mention that renaming the user profile always 
results in the loss of other customization.

 I have two laptops running LibreOffice. One is a Sony Vaio with LO
 6.0.6.x and Linux Mint 18. The other is a Lenovo with LO 6.0.7.x and
 Windows 10.

 I recently opened an Impress Presentation on my Windows machine to
 work on. At one point, I wanted to change the color of my font on one
 of my slides. I went to the font color icon on the toolbar and clicked
 the down arrow. I immediately noticed that the selection of available
 colors was different that that available on my Linux computer.

 To be more specific, if I click on the font color icon on the Windows
 computer, I get a selection of available colors arranged in 12 columns
 by 10 rows. For this example, I am using the colors available in the
 palette called "standard." The top row shows 12 shades of gray. In the
 second row, the color choices are "Yellow," "Gold," "Orange," "Brick,"
 "Red," "Magenta," "Purple," "Indigo," "Blue," "Teal," "Green," and
 "Lime." Then under each color column are boxes called Light  or
 Dark  followed by a number. So, for example, if I look at the
 "Blue" column, the top color is represented simply as "Blue." Below it
 are color boxes called "Light Blue 4," Light Blue 3," and so on down
 to "Light Blue 1," then followed by "Dark Blue 1," up to "Dark Blue
 4." Each column is similarly arranged under its respective color.

 On my Linux computer, the "standard" palette consists of 12 columns by
 15 rows of colors. The color row below the row of gray, is represented
 by the colors, "Yellow," "Orange," "Red," "Pink," "Magenta," "Purple,"
 "Blue," "Sky Blue," "Cyan," "Turquoise," "Green," and "Yellow Green."
 Then below each main color are boxes ranging from  1 to 
 9 with no light or dark designations.

 In short, the "standard" font color palette on LO in Windows is
 different from the "standard" palette on LO in Linux Mint. Moreover,
 the color represented as "Blue" on my Windows machine is decidedly
 different than the color called "Blue" on the Linux machine.

 I must say I have been using both computers for over a year now and I
 often share LO files between the two computers. It was only recently
 -- in the past week -- that I noticed the difference in standard color
 palettes. I could have sworn that the two palettes were the same in
 the past, but I can't think of anything I could have done to cause the
 Windows LO "standard" color palette to suddenly change.

 In an attempt to "fix" things, I downloaded and installed LO 6.3.4.2
 to my Windows computer, and also renamed my user profile. Neither had
 any effect on the way the "standard" font-color is represented.

 I know this is longer than anyone would like, but if anyone can
 confirm similar behavior on their Windows vs. Linux installations of
 LO, or recommend any action, I would appreciate it.

well, they should do their research, sorry.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Libre Writer Help download + Margin adjustment

[Paul D. Mirowsky]

Hello Charles

Suggest you go to a more current stable version, 6.3.5.

https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

Allow download to begin. On that page, click on "LibreOffice built-in help".

If that doesn't work, then, after downloading the package, use browser 
to go back to same page and click on the green link that says ":

Re: [libreoffice-users] Font colors on Windows vs. Linux

[Cuyahoga Falls]

I stand corrected.

I had previously renamed the user profile on my Windows machine, without 
effect. It never occurred to me to rename the user profile on my Linux 
machine.


I just went in and renamed the user profile on my Linux machine, and 
that, in fact, did have the effect of calling up the newer color 
palette. So now, my Windows and Linux installations of LO have the same 
"standard" color palette.


My apologies for wasting everybody's time.

that my problem was with my Windows installation

Thank you for the suggestion and links. As to the user profile, I did 
clean it by renaming it before I posted my original message. It had no 
effect.


The links are informative. They help me understand that this whole color 
palette issue is a fluid one. I notice, however, that the links discuss 
color palette changes that were made in the days of LO 4.x and LO 5.x. 
Both of my installations, whether Windows or Linux, are in the LO 6.x 
range. For example, according to your links, the standard color palette 
on my Linux LO 6.0.6 is very similar to that used in LO 4.3 whereas the 
standard palette used on my Windows LO 6.3.4 is most similar to that 
used in LO 5.4. I would think that, by now, there would be greater 
uniformity between the Windows and Linux versions of LO in the same 
release range.

That was my surprise as well, which prompted my original post. I teach 
at a local college as well as my church and always use slide 
presentations for my classes. My Windows box is newer with a nice long 
battery life for teaching a class without having to plug things in. My 
Linux laptop is old and tired, so I tend to use the Windows machine more 
often. However, for a reason I haven't yet figured out, it doesn't work 
well with my church's Epson projector. The projector keeps resetting 
itself in the middle of a presentation, so, I still use my Linux 
computer to show my slide presentations at church.


What this means is that I create and edit my slides on my Windows 
computer and then transfer them over to the Linux computer for showing 
in church. Since I can never leave things alone, I am constantly doing 
final editing on the Linux computer, which is how I discovered the 
difference in color palettes. I use blue and red font coloring for 
highlighting and I was surprised to find out that "Blue" on my Windows 
LO installation is different than "Blue" on my Linux LO installation, 
and that the "standard" palette on Windows LO doesn't include "Blue 4," 
which is what I use on Linux LO. The result is that colored text on a 
slide created in Windows LO is a different shade than colored text on a 
slide edited in Linux LO.


I have to believe that, having different color resources on the 
different versions of LO would make life frustrating for people sharing 
documents between Windows and Linux computers.


Part of me was wondering if this is something dictated at the level of 
the operating system. However, because I'm constantly searching for 
different/better solutions, I also use LyX/LaTeX/Beamer and 
RMarkdown/Slidy to create slide presentations, and I haven't noticed any 
differences in colors between my Windows and Linux installations of 
those respective respective systems.

 colors was different that that available on my Linux computer.

 To be more specific, if I click on the font color icon on the Windows
 computer, I get a selection of available colors arranged in 12 columns
 by 10 rows. For this example, I am using the colors available in the
 palette called "standard." The top row shows 12 shades of gray. In the
 second row, the color choices are "Yellow," "Gold," "Orange," "Brick,"
 "Red," "Magenta," "Purple," "Indigo," "Blue," "Teal," "Green," and
 "Lime." Then under each color column are boxes called Light  or
 Dark  followed by a number. So, for example, if I look at the
 "Blue" column, the top color is represented simply as "Blue." Below it
 are color boxes called "Light Blue 4," Light Blue 3," and so on down
 to "Light Blue 1," then followed by "Dark Blue 1," up to "Dark Blue
 4." Each column is similarly arranged under its respective color.

 On my Linux computer, the "standard" palette consists of 12 columns by
 15 rows of colors. The color row below the row of gray, is represented
 by the colors, "Yellow," "Orange," "Red," "Pink," "Magenta," "Purple,"
 "Blue," "Sky Blue," "Cyan," "Turquoise," "Green," and "Yellow Green."
 Then below each main color are boxes ranging from  1 to 
 9 with no light or dark designations.

 In short, the "standard" font color palette on LO in Windows is
 different from the "standard" palette on LO in Linux Mint. Moreover,
 the color represented as "Blue" on my Windows machine is decidedly
 different than the color called "Blue" on the Linux machine.

 I must say I have been using both computers for over a year now and I
 often share LO files between the two computers. It was only recently
 -- in the past week -- that I noticed the difference in standard color
 palettes. I could have sworn that the two palettes were the same in
 the past, but I can't think of anything I could have done to cause the
 Windows LO "standard" color palette to suddenly change.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Font colors on Windows vs. Linux

[Philip Jackson]

I have never had much use for the color palettes other than the occasional use 
of red for the odd word in Writer. So this thread provoked a bit of curiosity 
to check on my machines.

My W10 box has LO installed from the LO website - recently updated to 6.3.5.2 
and the standard color palette is 12 columns by 10 rows. The drop down lists 8 
palettes.

My UbuntuStudio box shows 2 standard palettes (in a drop down list of 9 
palettes) :
- one with 12 cols by 14 rows with 7 more colors on the 15th row.
- the other standard palette has 12 cols by 10 rows

For years, I have used the Ubuntu distribution of LO but recently I changed to 
the PPA which purports to maintain the latest LO stable release. It recently 
updated my copy to 6.3.5.2.

I imagine the color palette situation on my Ubuntu box reflects the history of 
my LO installations from Ubuntu over the years. Although I am surprised that 
two palettes with the same name can exist in the drop down lists.

I use the Ubuntu O/S; LibreOffice 6.3.5.1 and 6.4.1.1 are from the LO website. 
In both cases, the standard pallet contains 12 columns and 10 rows.

I notice the same thing, but my linux version is 6.3 from the openSUSE
repository and not the LO website and the win 10 install is 6.4 so I
could not say that that hasn't caused the difference. I have noticed the
palettes changing over time and a while back I created my own custom
palette (including company branding colours) so I could have consistency.

I know this is longer than anyone would like, but if anyone can
confirm similar behavior on their Windows vs. Linux installations of
LO, or recommend any action, I would appreciate it.

I'm not a Mac user myself, but according to Jack Wallen at *Tech Republi*c (
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-sign-libreoffice-6-documents-with-gnupg/),
if one has installed a PGP tool for MacOS (he suggests GPG Suite), one can
sign documents by following the procedures outlined in the article

Good luck - and please report back on your experience !...
