In summary, you can combine any color scheme with any color legend type—the two are not
dependent on each other.

Don’t Forget Your Standards
it can take several tries between creating color fill plans and printing them to get the colors just
right. You’ll find yourself making multiple adjustments along the way. When you have one that
works for you, take the time for a couple of extra steps so you don’t have to re-create this work in
the future.
First, if it is a type of project that you’ll be doing again and again, add the legend to your project
template. This is as easy as placing the legend on a view and the view on a sheet (similar to a
schedule) and copying it to the Clipboard. open your project template (in the same instance of
revit) and paste it onto a sheet, and your settings, colors, and naming conventions will be quickly
transferred and saved for future use.
