Define New Custom Waypoint Color for All Projects

You can define a custom color that will be used for all projects when the option Custom is selected in the general view settings. You can define the custom color in the workspace settings on the Sphere XG Dashboard, see General Workspace Settings.

Note however, that other colors that you assign in the Viewer or select in the general view settings will override the custom color.
