tariq Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 It would be very useful to have the idea of "named colours". The idea is that colours are used throughout a project (or separate projects?) and when the named colour is changed, all the uses of the that colour are updated. Think of "styles" but for colours. This would really help with professional / non-simple workflows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will not work across different documents, but should do what you want within a single document.

tariq Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 Thanks @loukash and @walt.farrell - I will look up "global colours" I wonder why Affinity on Twitter seemed to think it was not possible? https://twitter.com/affinitybyserif/status/1612382283796717571 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The answer was correct on Twitter. Named Colors are not supported.
