Branding Custom Colors - upload ~20 RGB or Hex codes in a .json file

Hi All,

Does anyone have a way to upload about 20 RGB or Hex codes in a .json file all at one time instead of inputting them one by one under

File /Preferences/ Graph/ Categorical/ New

Would love to have this feature as companies change branding every few years

You can make add-in and then distribute (or force install) that to all the people in the organization. Optionally you could use custom installation/deployment (JMP Deployment Guide -> Custom Installation and Deployment). This is what we are doing, when people in our organization install JMP, we change some of the default preferences and add custom color themes. 

You could also make a wish to JMP Wish List and maybe something like this will be added in some future version of JMP.

The Preferences Manager would be my recommendation. This allows you to save all your global JMP Preferences as a shareable .jsl file that can be distributed. Users can even toggle between "profiles" for their own personal preferences, and the managed org-wide preferences. If they accidentally change some preferences, they can use this to "reset" back to the managed preferences. 

A more powerful approach would be to make and Share Platform Presets, which can also be mass-exported either as .jmppresets files, or as an addin. This allows you to customize more than just colors, and can be used for fully standardizing analysis and graphics.

Check out the Scripting Index.

I don't want to have these colors as a one off in one script.

For more context: I would like a way to upload 20 colors and have them be my default color palette and then I want to be able to do this across hundreds of people in one organization.  I am comparing this experience to other software programs that allow you to upload your theme one time and then you are all set.
