You can add such a color in a Style (paragraph or character), in a Template, or as a Theme color in a custom theme.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was out all last week, and didn't have a lot of time to work with your suggestions prior to that.
The solutions that you suggest are not exactly what I'm looking for. I would prefer to just right-click and have the color pinned right there, but that might not be possible, so one of your suggestions may be the best that I can do. I work with them a bit more and see what works best for me.
Thanks for the reply!

Right click and pinned where? If you create a character or paragraph style (where that color is set as the font color property), then you can apply that style to selected text using several methods..
You could add that style to the style gallery, you could apply the style using a macro:
Sub ApplyMyStyle()
'A basic Word Macro coded by Gregory K. Maxey
Selection.Style = "MyDarkBlueFontColor"
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End SubYou can create a keyboard shortcut to apply that style or you could modify the text shortcut menu to apply that style. See: https://gregmaxey.com/word_tip_pages/customize_shortcut_menu.html
