Art should tell a story. Don't paint a moment, paint a lifetime.
Well... You have to recreate the same named colors with a diferent name and reassign them to the copy of objects you want to be diferent. Itīs a little tedious but it can be done. Duplicating colors is a little laborious but reassigning them is just a question of dragīnīdrop.
Eobet there is a way to do what you want automatically.
Copy one of your objects that has named colours and paste into a new document.
Deselect the object.
Open the Colour Editor and drag the named colour you want to change onto the Editor. Adjust the colour to what your want. If you used named and linked or Tint/Shade colours your gradient will update in real time.
Copy the object with it's new colour and paste into the original drawing.
You will see the new named colours added to your colour line and you can now edit the colours separatly from the other objects.
The attached .xar file began with the group of circles in the upper left. After naming the base colour, the tint was created then the linked colour. I copied the group to a new document and dropped the named base colour onto the Colour Editor. In HSV mode I simply dragged the crosshair to another Hue. The colours all changed dynamically. Copied the new group and pasted into the original document. The left most rectangle was given a gradient using the first named colour base colour, copied to a new document and given a new Hue, copied and pasted back into the original drawing. The other rectangles are simple copy/pasted edit colour and paste again using the described technique.

Brilliant ideia Bill !!!
Thinking outside the box (or in this case, outside the window)
Thanks Miguel, I'm sure someone else posted that technique before I just don't remember who at this moment.
Glad that works for you Eobet.
