: Global Swatches in Inkscape In Illustrator, you can make a swatch, give it a red color, and then color a bunch of things with it. Then, when you decide that you think blue would be better

Yes, Inkscape does have swatches -- but they are a little tricky to figure out if you have never used them before.

In the Fill / Stroke Dialog, there is a fill type called "Swatches". Select the object that you want to apply a swatch too, then press the Swatches Fill type to create a new swatch. This is also where you edit the color of an existing swatch.

There is also the Swatches dialog (Edit > Swatches)that lets you see the swatches you have created, and set the swatch of a specific object. Note too that if you set the palette at the bottom to "auto", it will show all the swatches in a document.



Note that the colors in this gif look a little funky, but I hope you get the idea :)
