In some instances, instead of a single value, you will see a set of values. These are called style reference settings, and their titles are displayed in orange in the Default Settings window. Style reference settings are useful because you can apply them in several places, and if you change a value in a reference style, it will be updated everywhere it is referenced. For example, if you create a Standard Text Style and reference it in all text settings, changing one setting in that style, such as the font, changes the setting everywhere the style is used.
