Adding Default Colors

In Font there are options for the font color with options for Theme Colors, Standard Colors, Recently Used Colors, and More Colors.  In order to get to our company's standard color (Dark Green), I have to navigate to the color picker and select it.  It's then there under Recently Used Colors but when I open a new document it doesn't stay there.  Is there a way to set our most used colors (which aren't a part of the Standard or Theme Color choices) as the default colors either in Theme Colors or Standard Colors?

    Open your default template Normal.dotm, or the template you use for your company documents.

    On the Page Layout tab of the ribbon, in the Themes group, click the Colors dropdown and select Create New Theme Colors...

    Set the Accent 1 to Accent 6 colors to the colors you want to use most.

    Give the new set a name and click Save.

    Then close and save the template.

    Next time you create a new document, it will use the custom color set that you created.

    Could you create a corporate theme that incorporates the correct font color?
