Thx PixelDust, and Burpee that is exactly what I mean by purpose.
I think some of my graphics would like one or the other beginner can do, the easiest way is to decompose the image, so I share the XAR-file.

The Images not perfect, see the Smily, I would have to renounce to.

All graphics, I created this afternoon and are so to say "new".

I struggle with 'named colors'. I name the first one and somehow I get all mixed up when I start making tints and hues. Very frustrating but I believe it is an important thing to learn. I hope to understand it someday.

Ok, my English not so good and i write meanwhile with my School-English.
But i have make a little illustration as sample for unterstood...

You must one Color make to the Master, all other Color who you want change too, must make to child Colors of the Master, all other Colors (gradients too!!)!
Then you select the Master-Color and when you change this, all Child-Colors changed too.

Ok, that helps cmone. I see that the colors all change when I change the master color. I made a mess today trying to make named colors but this helps for the future efforts.

Burpee, in the Xara-Xone you will find what you search how did color named exactly.

Here is in detail explained:
