Description: This is a feature request for establishing a way in the regular UI of LO to edit colors that are ALREADY in use in various places in the document. For example: I can create a "Custom color 1", that I then use for some boxes, some lines, 2 heading styles, 2 character styles and a table style. This new function would allow me to change "Custom color 1" from HEX "#XXXXXX" to HEX "#YYYYYY". Use case: this would allow people to quickly change colors throughout the document to test how they look. Other examples: Wordpress offers the option of setting 'global colors' in the CSS, which is super handy for quickly testing different colors on the site. Feasability: this appears to be possible, as various ODT XMLs can be edited to change these colors and the AO API also allows for editing them.

Ah i just read an additional comment on the topic I posted above: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/is-there-any-way-to-set-a-color-in-libreoffice-writer-in-multiple-places-that-i-can-change-later/94955/14?u=rik39487 It seems like this is already being worked on, so perhaps this topic can be closed?
Hi rik Yes, implementation tarted being available in the recently released version 7.6.

There is a meta bug used to track further improvements to that feature: bug 107331 Let's mark this report as a duplicate of bug 90497, which should eventually be marked as fixed once the feature is refined. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 90497 ***
