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. VirgilMy apologies for having not tried that earlier. I had always thought that my problem was with my Windows installation

It might help to clean the user profile, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile.

Cheers, Heiko PS: Colors are stored as RGB values in documents, there must not be any difference between $FF0000 (Red) on Linux vs. Windows or between different versions.

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 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. steve On 02/03/2020 07:19, Cuyahoga Falls wrote: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 <color> or Dark <color> 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 <Color> 1 to <Color> 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.
