You just need to find the two xml files and send them to users. They should place the files in the equivalent folder

Probably:
C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\ Document Themes\Theme Colors\

Note that this is a hidden folder.

Hi John - I have unhidden all folders but when I get to the templates folder it is empty. It is a company laptop - would that make a difference?

Have you created a custom color theme? It will only be there if you created it. In any case the Templates folder should not normally be completely empty. Obviously I have no idea what settings your company have imposed though.

If you did you will have a name for the custom color scheme.

Download "Everything" from voidtools (great search program) and search for the name.
