That is what I do, mostly.  I now prefer to have many smaller dedicated 
palettes instead of a few large ones.
The need for a company-wide palette is a great idea for a specific SOC 
file.

This is the hidden folder within Ubuntu is where I place for the color 
palettes I created.

"/home/timothy/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config"

I know where the system files for LibreOffice, including the .soc files, 
are located, but it is easier to place my color.soc files in the hidden 
".config" folder instead of editing a system folder like this "root 
level" directory/folder “/opt/libreoffice5.3/share/palette”  I would 
rather edit the ".config/libreoffice/" folder over editing the "/opt/" 
one 9 times out to 10 easily.

I have made a few palettes and place them on my "libreoffice-na.us" page.

Here is an edited version of one so you do not have to wade through 
several pages of color text definitions.  I used a palette's SOC file as 
a template for my versions.  There may be an extended "ooo:color-table" 
script, but this XML works fine.  The only thing I have found is that 
using a text editor, or even Writer, Ubuntu seems not to associate the 
resulting "color-palette.soc" file as a "xml" file.  These created 
palettes work fine, since the start and ending lines are "xml" script 
identifiers.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <ooo:color-table
   xmlns:office="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0"
   xmlns:draw="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:drawing:1.0"
   xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
   xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
   xmlns:ooo="http://openoffice.org/2004/office";>

       <draw:color draw:name="rope" draw:color="#8e4d1e"/>
       <draw:color draw:name="oregon" draw:color="#9b4703"/>
       <draw:color draw:name="richgold" draw:color="#a85307"/>
       <draw:color draw:name="korma"  draw:color="#8f4b0e"/>

   </ooo:color-table>

This edited color palette actually have over 70 orange colors and hues.  
Another is one with brown and wood colors.  I had a hard time to find a 
specific color for specific need - like a good wood brown - for a 
project's image or text color.
