I've had a look at the code, and no, there's no way to define custom colors. You can't even use the so-called "LyX colors", which can be customized through Tools> Preferences> Colors and are listed in appendix B of the Customization manual. At least, you can't use them for font colors (though I think you can use them for inset backgrounds(. I'd encourage you to file an enhancement request about this. At the moment, there is no easy way to permit the definition and use of custom colors. But maybe someone would want to take on the challenge of generalizing this code. Richard
