If the template is saved as a template, those colours will be included
in the template.

If saved as an ordinary file, the colours won't be saved to the
template.  The next time the file is opened, you are asked if you want
to update the styles to the template. If you say yes, the colours will
be replaced by whatever is in the template.  In theory, the colours will
remain in the palette that was used.

~/.openoffice.org/user/config/standard.soc is the location of the
standard colour palette.  Any colours created at ">Tools >Options
>Colours" are added to standard.soc.

If the colour is used in the document, it is included in the style
definition, and other users will see that colour.  If the colour is in
their standard colour palette, they will be able to use it in other
styles.   If it is not in their standard palette, they won't be able to
use it in other styles.

The colour definition stays with the object.  If the user's colour
palette does not include that colour, they won't be able to use it in
other objects.
