Edit Colours Dialogue

So it only took me ~10 years to figure out you need to hold SHIFT then click, to be able to designate the various "Custom Colours", so you can use the "Add to Custom Colours".

My query is, whilst this works if you nominate the "cell" first, then change colour, then "add", what if you already have a colour (eg top left reddish colour) and you want to assign it to the bottom right custom colour?

In other words, if I have entered the RGB values for the colour I want, how do I then choose which "cell/custom colour" to overwrite?

I have always selected the cell before setting the custom colour settings.

Then you can add the colour to that cell you selected.

 

I don't think there is a way of selecting the cell after you set the custom settings, as it will reset to whatever is in that cell that you select.
