 1. First find where standard.soc is. [openSUSE 13.1 it is /home/user
    name/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/
 2. Rename standard.soc or backup some.
 3. rename the new file (downloaded link mentioned) and then move it
    into the folder where you found the original version.
 4. Check permissions
CODE
----------
-rw-r--r-- 1 username users 122649 Jan 13 17:39 .config/libreoffice/4-
suse/user/config/standard.soc
----------
 5. open writer and see if the new list of colors appear. Should appear 
in writer when you click the font color, highlight color or background 
color. Also should be in CALC and Draw.

Hope this helps.
