Your object is filled with a scheme color, and you are pasting it into a publication with a different color scheme. The object is automatically filled with a color of the new publication's color scheme.
If you want the object's color to remain unchanged, you need to select the object, and then fill it with a non-scheme color.
- Click the arrow next to the
Fill Color button
, and then select an option from
More Fill Colors.
I changed my color scheme but some objects
didn't change color.
Any objects that you filled with non-scheme colors remain the same when you change the color scheme. If you want an object's color to change when you change color schemes, you need to apply a scheme color to the object.
- Select a color scheme from the Color Schemes task pane.
- Select the object you want to apply a scheme color to.
- Click the arrow next to the
Fill Color button
, and then select the color you want.

change one color in a color scheme.

- Click Save Scheme, type a name for your custom color scheme, and then click OK twice.

- Click OK.
Objects with scheme colors applied to them do not change when I
change color schemes.
You may have set up your publication for spot-color printing after you applied the scheme colors to these objects.

- Select a color scheme from the Color Schemes task pane.
- Select the object you want to apply a scheme color to.
- Click the arrow next to the
Fill Color button
