When you create color mappings, Abaqus/CAE assigns colors to objects by referring to the color definitions in the Auto-Color List. You can modify the contents of this list by adding, removing, rearranging, and changing the colors.
Unlike color mappings, the Auto-Color List is common for all viewports.
To edit the colors in the Auto-Color List:
Click the 
tool in the Color Code toolbar.
Abaqus/CAE displays the Color Code dialog box.
Click Advanced, and select Edit Auto-colors from the list that appears.
Abaqus/CAE displays the Edit Auto-Colors dialog box.
To insert a new color into the Auto-Color list:
Highlight the color in the Auto-Color list that you want to precede or follow the color that you add.
Click Insert Before or Insert After to add a new color in the indicated location in the Auto-Color list.
The Select Color dialog box opens.
Choose a color, and click OK to close the Select Color dialog box.
To change one of the colors in the Auto-Color list, double-click the color and select a new color from the Select Color dialog box that appears.
To move a color within the Auto-Color list, highlight the color and click either Move Up or Move Down to move the color one step in the selected direction.
To delete a color from the Auto-Color list, highlight the color and click Delete.
Continue adding, changing, moving, and deleting colors until the Auto-Color list contains the colors you want in the desired order.
Click OK.
Abaqus/CAE uses the revised Auto-Color list for any subsequent color coding.
