    Standard colours that we use as finishes on our parts are identified
    from our suppliers catalogue eg; Deep Brunswick Green, or Flame Red.
    Is there a way of naming colours, and having this value linked to the
    file properties, the same as say materials?

    Dom,

    I suppose that you could do this with materials in a part. Ditto for
    PhotoWorks materials. If that is not exactly what you want you could
    use the API and link to a flat file database with names and RGB
    settings. It has been a while since I looked at the precedence of
    color settings in SW. Since you can set color on so many features the
    precedence has to be understood before you try this.
