FYI : Using drupal 7.17 and drush 5.8 on CentOS 64-bit (hostmonster)
Is it possible to save a color scheme for a theme under a new name?
I.E. Choose Bartik -> 'Custom' color scheme. Configure. Save as : "Custom 1"
I do not see an option to accomplish this. Is there a module that would enable me to accomplish this?
thanks
The color module comes to mind.

Please explain (if you have the time) I have the color module enabled.
thanks
I don't have time to delve into this but the themes I've used that allow for color changes have a function to save the color chosen. You should mimic what they do.

Any of the themes that I have have experimented with enable color scheme to be modified and saved. But they do not enable a color scheme to be **saved as** a new color scheme.
No big deal.
FYI : I did find a module called "Custom Save As". Attempts to use it generated PHP errors. I see issues linked from the module download site that indicate similar errors and no movement to correct. We will not use it.
This topic is for down my list of priorities. When I get more acquainted with drupal, I will look again.
thanks again Ernie
Depending on the theme it may store the color scheme as a .css file in /files/color/theme_name-id-code/color.css

Yeah. I'm using mayo. So I have sites/default/files/color/mayo-<idnum> That gives me something to backtrack to if I make a change I don't like and want to get back to the previous. thanks Neil

I have the color module enabled.
Color module stored its configurations in the variable database table, keyed by the active theme name. For your use case probably preferred if it was saved keyed by theme_name + conf_machine_name.
It doesn't expose API for a third party storage controller either.
This could be a feature request though.
If you want to export Color module configurations you could use Features or Strongarm I think, to get those stored in the variable database table.

Oh that is several portions of great info! The more I know about how the database works, the better. And good to hear about those modules. Thank you.
