A chart has an implicit color palette, in both a narrow and expanded senses. In the narrow sense, it is the sequence of default chart data series colors. In the wider sense, this also includes: * The default colors of a chart's background area, axis lines, label text etc. * The set of colors from within which a user is encouraged to choose series colors. (i.e. a wider subset of what would be a chart's style.) I would like, even before full chart styles are implemented, to be able to apply one chart's color palette to another, including across different document. This can be achieved with little UI work via an import and export mechanism. See also bug 163535 about the default palette and bug 62925 about the request for full-fledged chart styles.
Chart palette was introduced for bug 106534. Find the option at Format Data Series... > Color Palette. And you can modify the standard chart colors per Tools > Options > Charts > Default Colors. There are tickets requesting better palettes, and surely there are for an improved workflow. What exactly do you add to the topic?

What exactly do you add to the topic? Well, first and foremost - the title of this bug: I want to be able to import and export, and that dialog tab doesn't let me do that (nor can I do that elsewhere). I'll also add that its discoverability is lacking; and it doesn't show me the current, actual, color palette used (i.e. it's as though it shows the named style but not the DF). But those would be separate bugs about the dialog. Anyway, is there a meta-bug for chart color palettes? I don't seem to see one. There is 104118 - but it's about color palettes in general.
