Dave, on the PC, it's a bit easier.
but that's 'Colors in Model' save, the OP was request making a generic list for any model...
I think mac is simpler a 'Colors in Model' save...

If you have a collection of colors/materials in a model, choose Save collection as... and save it locally. Add it to favorites as above, if you wish. No big deal.

Many thanks for the help on this - it helped a great deal.
I did find editing the colours would not allow me to rename them - the only way I could achieve this was to duplicate the colour and give it a new name and then delete the old colour from the list.
Let's hope trimble make the mac editor more like the pc version in later editions.

SketchUp on Mac uses the Mac-supplied color editor.

Thanks @Dave R, I had created the "My Colors" but then had not drug the colors down to the list - DUH!!

I have a material collection that is "My Colors". Now I have some silly questions:
- Where is that stored? (Yes, I looked under Window>Preferences>Files>Materials and it is not there).
- How do I delete it? (Yes, I tried clicking on Remove from favorites and it was not listed there)

It's probably under your Username/App Data?Roaming/SketchUp 2015...

Was not there....I did a search on the entire system for "my" and it was not found.
Here is what I am trying to remove:

Well, now you've done it.
Is it in Program Files/SketchUp...?
Did you try searching for one of the texture files? Or search for *.skm and see if that turns up anything.

Yes, that is where it was.....interesting that File Explorer did not find it.
No, I did not try looking for .skm files. Would probably have been a better search. I just deleted the folder and all is back to normal. I think that I will set something like this up in the future as it would give me a more consistent set of colors to use in my equipment models (components). That could save some headaches and reduce file sizes as I look at creating equipment layouts and using one of the web browsers in the future.
Seems like everyday I pick up some kind of little trick that can make use of SU easier and better.

what's the renaming convention you are hoping to apply?
there may be other ways to do it...
