How to specify custom solid colors that persist?

ParaView Support
1

I find myself constantly adding custom colors to the Pick Solid Color dialog, since it doesn’t seem that these colors persist across sessions.

For example:

  1. Launch fresh session of ParaView 6.1.0 (make sure it’s the only open instance of ParaView).

  2. Create sphere source

  3. Click the Edit Color Map button while coloring by Solid Color

  4. Click on the bottom left Custom colors box, enter #F04562 into the HTML field, click the Add to Custom Colors button.

  5. Click the OK button to close the dialog.

  6. Close ParaView

  7. Open ParaView and repeat steps 1-3. The custom color is back to white.

Is there a file somewhere I can modify? Doesn’t seem like this is in the ParaView-UserSettings.json and Claude suggests that this is a QT setting and, as such, is hidden from users.
