Tools > Color Palette
Make your palette changes here.
Click OK.
Now these palette changes are directly accessible through the "Fill"
window. You know that I guess. I am not trying to be condescending btw.
You can create a Visio template, and create a toolbar for that template
that links to the "Fill" window and the changes you made to the main
palette, along with stencils and shapes in the stencil that are
consistent and borders and whatever. Turn off the standard Formatting
toolbars - the ones you don't want your users to see and you should then
be able to achieves something close to what you desire...

Subject: atw: Visio colour palettes
Hi,
One for the Visio(2003 Pro) users out there.
I'm trying to set up a colour palette for other people in the office to
use so we get closer to a consistent look and feel. My challenge is
with the Visio color palette. According to the help files and
everything I read on the web it should be easy - but the instructions I
can find don't actually work like I expect.
I can create a new palette by going Tools>Color Palette... and entering
all the relevant RGB values. No problems there.
I can even copy this new palette to other files. No problems there.
BUT...
I fail at getting the new palette into the Text, Line, or Fill Color
buttons on the Formatting toolbar. I can right-click on an object and
choose Format>Fill>Color and the new palette is visble, but most of my
users aren't going to all that trouble when there is a button staring
them in the face.
Has anyone managed to get a custom palette into the formatting toolbar
buttons?
Thanks,
Geoff
