<h2>Editing and Managing Solid Colors (2)</h2>
<h3>Changing the Default Color Palette</h3>

<p>In the dialog you can select a new default palette for <i>new</i> documents. Any change you make here will not affect existing documents, as the color palette in such a document has been <a href="color1.html">stored</a> in the document itself. Some of the color palettes shipped with Scribus have been created for special purposes, so before you select another default palette, you should learn something about the color sets from the descriptions provided in subsequent sections. In some cases, your printer or a client may insist on the use of certain colors.</p>
<p>What you will notice immediately when you open the dialog is that you can’t edit any color in one of the palettes that are shipped with Scribus. This is a feature, not a bug, as the very purpose of standardized colors is to work across documents, computers or platforms with identical colors, which in turn have unique color values and color names. Thus, all color palettes that have been installed to directories to which you have read-only access are “locked”, i.e. prevented from editing.</p>
-<p>Sometimes, however, there are good reasons to edit a locked palette anyway, for example, if you need to reduce the number of colors in a palette for a certain project, i.e. if you need to create a “project palette”. In such a case you can click on the “Save Color Set” icon in the Color Manager. This will save the palette to your home directory and will add the copy to the list of available color sets. If you select the copy of the palette, you will notice that the editing options are now available. Be aware, though, that clicking “OK” will make all changes to the copy permanent!</p><br>

In such a case you can click on the “Save Color Set” button in the Color Manager. This will save the palette to the folder <code>~/swatches</code> in your Scribus settings directory (e.g. <code>~.scribus/swatches</code> on Linux/UNIX) and will add the copy to the list of available color sets. If you select the copy of the palette, you will notice that the editing options are now available. Be aware, though, that clicking “OK” will make all changes to the copy permanent!</p><br>
