[Qgis-user] polygon fills from different shapefiles

[Firstname Lastname]

I have gone that far, but I have four sets of maps with similar units.  If
I categorize them independantly, I have to manually change the colours to
make them consistent between layers.   This is very time consuming and I
was wondering if the colour can added to the attribute table so that I can
edit them more easily
