hot to change alot of part colors in onshape?

basically my team decided that our team color scheme was going to be orange and white a month ago but now suddenly everyone wants to change the colors it black and blue. we are a new team and I already have the robot cad-ed in orange and white and I really don't want to manually change all the colors. is there like a way for me to select my whole cad and say replace orange to blue and replace white to black?

Just use the appearance panel. You'll have to do it on a per part studio basis I believe. But if you modify a color in the appearance panel, any parts/surfaces with that color will update accordingly.
After the fact, probably not, but you could use my Part Color custom feature in conjunction with a Variable Studio to set it up so that it's easy to change next time someone has a mercurial whim. Here's an example. These are different parts from 2 different part studios updating the hex code from the variable studio.
@EvanReese I haven't seen this FS. Looks cool. Is there a way to call the color palette vs entering hex? Or is that interface not exposed?
I'm not sure how to drive a feature dropdown (enum) with variables. I'd just use the built in color picker to find the hex value you want then copy/paste.
