Local colors and Theme colors
Web Designer Premium has two types of color:

Local colors are used in only one place in the document. Each object has a separate color and
nothing is shared. This is useful if you want to change the color of an object without affecting
other objects. Local colors are the easiest method and best for simple documents that use
relatively few colors. "Applying color" and "Editing an object's color" above describe local color
handling.

Theme colors (or Named colors) can be used again and again in the document. (As such, they
are like styles in a word processor.) Theme colors are used in templates and assure a consistent
look of your page elements like buttons or navigation bars. Any edits you make to a Theme color
are immediately reflected on all objects and parts of the drawing that use that color. You can also
copy Theme colors between documents. Theme colors appear on the Color Line. If there are
any Theme colors already present in the design and you load or paste templates from the
Designs Gallery containing Theme colors with the same name, you will be asked if you want to
match the actual color of the imported Theme colors to the existing ones. The Theme colors in
most templates are consistently named so when you import elements from different themes colors
are matched perfectly.
Important: If you just select an object on the page that has a named color applied to it, and alter it with
the Color Editor, this will always turn it into a local color instead of a named color (because it is
assumed that if you try to edit the color of the object that's what you mean to do. If you really want to
change the named color so this and all occurrences of the color change, then you should do so by
editing the named color
).
