I know that LibreOffice color palettes - that came with it in the 
install - do not go into the ".config" folder any longer.

My last install was a "purge then install" so there would be no 
rollovers from the older versions.  I am now using 5.3.5 instead of 
5.2.7[?].

Ubuntu terminal install commands
    "sudo apt-get remove libreoffice?" or "sudo apt-get purge libreoffice?"
    then
    "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" install.


Right now, users can add palettes to this folder for testing and use.  
This is an easier place to "store" user defined color palettes.  To stop 
a possible issue with two palettes with the same name installed in two 
folders, I am naming the SOC files with "colors_" at the beginning of 
the filename.

As for sending the document to others for editing, and not having the 
colors you defined in the document, I do not do this often. When I do 
have a project that several people doing the editing, I make sue these 
people have both the font files and now the color palettes.  Of course 
if they use Word instead of Writer, they get the font file only.
