I have not looked into 5.4.x yet.

I will look into those topics on the other lists.

Yes, I found out that the root system folders has the "palette" folder 
that I did not know about till after I sent the email.

I rarely do a "purge" install for LibreOffice, but I did it for the 
5.3.5.2 install.

When I looked for the SOC files in the hidden ".config" folder, there 
were none there.  At that point I found the in the 
"/opt/libreoffice5.3/share/palette" folder - since I looked for the .soc 
files.

I will compare the "/opt" LibreOffice color palette file with mine, so I 
can see the differences.

There was a new list of color palettes that I had never seen before.  I 
saved them in a folder within the folder that has all my color palette 
working files.  That way I can decide what color palette lists I want to 
work on.

I placed my "colors_gold-goldenrod.soc" into the hidden 
"/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config" folder.  It works fine.  So this is 
where I have placed most of my color palettes as I test them.

There are several large color palette lists, but for now, I will be 
working on smaller specialized lists - like the gold related colors.

One of the palettes is the list of the various levels of gray.  I also 
want to find all of the other metal named colors like silver, copper, 
and others.  Maybe find one similar to "ruby" for gemstones.
