Perhaps this will help: The color table is stored in

Support/openoffice.org/3/user/config. Again it is the standard .soc
file.
Before copying the standard.soc file from another location, you
might consider renaming the standard.soc file you want to replace.
Then copy the desired standard.soc file into the same folder. Close
OOo if it is running. Open it to see if you now have the color table
that you want.
NOTICE: The locations are accurate. The suggestions are what I
think, but I have never tried to do this. They may not work even if I
think they should.

Seasons Greetings Dan and thanks, however as far I could find, the
directory structure of Mint is a morass of branches and duplicated
folders. A file search for OpenOffice and standard.soc came up readily
enough in Mac, but in Mint a file search popped up nothing less than
three separate OpenOffice folders in threads raging from /etc/ to
/init/ and some were alias dead-ends or plain empty. I'm no hacker and
I really don't want to play Indiana Jones delving our hard drives just
to transfer color and address and default info from Mac OOo into Mint
OOo. I wonder how many perspective users OOo lost because people
couldn't transfer their personal Mac or PC or Linux Ooo defaults
between another. Surely there's a "simple" script that can swing this,
and I'd really be nice if the brains in the know could lend a hint.

If you are using the version of OOo provided by Mint, the preset
parts of OOo are probably located within the /etc/ folder. That is not
what you want. You mentioned three locations for the standard.soc file,
but you did not mention where the third location was. If you look at my
earlier reply, I mentioned a location: /home/.openoffice.org/. What I
should have written /home/user/.openoffice.org/3/"user"/config/ as the
folder containing the file you need. The "user" in the address is the
name of the folder which contains all of your personal folders. For
example, on my Linux box, my "user" name is dan. So, this file is
located at /home/dan/.openoffice.org/3/user/config/. Another thing: the
period in front of openoffice.org is used by Linux to identify a hidden
folder or file. I'm not sure how you searched for the standard.soc file.
Did you use the command line or something else. This might help some.
