 Replying to [comment:1 jef]:
 > You can already save the layer symbology to .qml files.

 I'm am conscious of that possibility, but it does not really respond to
 the idea developed above. It is not an easy taks to create a .qml file
 from scratch when you have a list of codes and colors as input. What I was
 aiming at was some sort of mecanism to allow me to tell QGIS "I would like
 all polygons filled with a color and a black border brush of width XYZ,
 and you can find all the codes and their corresponding colors in RGB in
 the following text file".

 I think this is a note too rare use case (e.g. downloading shapefiles of
 land use classes with an accompanying file giving the class to color key).

 Reopening the ticket as it is (IMHO) not invalid...
