Create a brush resource or color resource
You can create a reusable brush or color that you can then apply to other objects. Resources have an advantage over copying and applying attributes because you can change the resource in one location. When you do this, all the objects that use the resource are instantly updated.

You have many ways to create a resource in Blend for Visual Studio 2012. This topic covers only how to create brush and color resources, but you can create a resource from most properties. Additionally, you can create a style or template resource that you can apply to a control, instantly changing the appearance or behavior of the control. For more information about how to create additional resource types, see Creating reusable resources. You can see all the resources that are used in your project in the Resources panel.
