Re: [libreoffice-users] getting larger set of colors that the standard that comes with LO -corrected URL

Here is the corrected URL [hopefully] to get the larger color list file.
Actually it is to the folder that contains the file.

https://owncloud.documentfoundation.org/Common/New-Colors#

if this does not work, let me know.

Take this file "standard--kpp-2000-plus-colors.soc"
and rename it to "standard.soc"
and place it in the proper folder, shown below, and there you have it.
Restart LO to activate the new color list for font and other color options.
