Dear Eustace: The Colour palette file is part of the Oo Installation (likewise for the Gradients and hatches.
Colour file : .soc Gradients: .sog Hatches: .soh These are buried in the Oo installation. 2 choices: 1) You can edit the existing default.soc by: - Open an Oo draw file - Draw a rectangle - Select the fill as a colour - When selecting the colour, click the colours tab, then use the resulting window to edit the file. - Then save it so it will overwrite the existing file. To back it up, you can save that file multiple times in multiple places using normal navigation within the save option. - You can also load such a file from any navigable location in a comparable manner. I am attaching my current version of the .SOC file. You can then load it into your system this way, then use the rectangle in that experimental Oo draw file to see what the colours look like in areas larger than that provided in the palette swatches window. You can also save it as your default, and subsequently modify it further as needed.

Yes, the issue of moving the color scheme to another machine is another important one, but not of the present moment for me. So far I am satisfied with the variety of the colors that are provided, and I change only those that are most necessary. > There is a colour palette file that you need to enhance, back up and save in > a particular way.
