But unnamed colours cannot be edited or used in the first place.
Besides, the option's wording is not about what *you* want to do but
whether *ArtWorks* should use unnamed (i.e., not editable) colours
when importing files. If the use of the verb "use" was related to you
as the user, it would read "usable", i.e., something like "Usable
colours", or, more to the point in this case, "Editable colours".
