designer Attribute Styles in AD?

[Michael Sheaver]

In Affinity Designer, is it possible to set up attribute styles which can be applied to individual layers or objects? Say I have a palette of three colors that I will use in my design project, and I want to set up three fill styles, named FillColor1, FillColor2 and FillColor3. For all of the objects that I want to fill with the first color, I would apply the style named FillColor1. I would do the same for the other two colors, using FillColor2 and FillColor3 respectively.

Let's say I originally used the color orange for FillColor1, but later decided that I don't like the way it looks. I would like to modify the color setting for the FillColor1 style to green, and it would instantly change all of the orange objects to green.

Is this workflow possible in AD? I don't think the currently implementation of styles will work, and it does not look like symbols will work either.

you can use global colours for this, in the swatches panel>add global colour.

or right click on the shape, add to swatches

Yes indeed, that is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and for responding so quickly!

Hey @dutchshader, I had posted this same question on the Design Design Stack Exchange forum, and I posted your answer there as well:
