You can customize color sets by adding, deleting, or replacing colors. You can also append colors to a color set. This is useful if you want to use colors from multiple color sets. In addition, you can name or rename individual colors in a color set.

Naming colors in a color set can be useful. You can then search for a color by name, or annotate the colors you use, right in the document window. For more information, see To find a color in a color set.
