Quote from: Lynn on March 07, 2026, 01:52:05 AMOh that is weird. I tested it on my computer in 1.7.2 and while my custom color selection persists when there isn't a file open even if I relaunch Scribus, when a new file is made it doesn't inherit my custom color scheme.
When I did the exact same thing in 1.6.4 (set a color scheme with no file open, then made a new document) the new file automatically was given that default color scheme. It feels like this is a file creation bug.

- I've created a Scribus document.
- In "Edit > Colors and Fills", I've removed the unused colors.
- I've created a couple of colors.
- Saved the .sla document as "colors.sla" and closed it.
- I've created another new document
- In "Edit > Colors and Fills", I've removed the unused colors, then used the "Import" button to select the "colors.sla" file I've previously saved and imported the colors.
- Now I have the colors I've defined in the first few steps in the second document.
On the other hand, I could not get the "Colors Sets" feature in the "Colors and Fills" dialog to work.
Are you using this one?
