The best way to apply consistent colors changes to every instance of a navigation bar in your publication is by changing the color scheme for your publication. If you change the color of your navigation bar by changing the color scheme, your navigation bar will retain any of its original fill effects, and it will retain complementary formatting for the selected state appearance of buttons.

The best way to apply consistent font changes to all of the buttons on every instance of a navigation bar in your publication is by changing the font scheme for your publication. If you change the fonts by changing the font scheme, your navigation bar will have consistent complementary formatting for button text in both the selected and unselected states.
