--- Comment #2 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
1. You are changing the default Page style, so any change would only be visible
on a preview of the whole page.

2. The colour widget changes the colour of the _existing_ borders. If there is
no border to change, the colour change won't be saved.

No need to use a template to see this: change the border colour of a cell that
does not have borders, press OK, reopen the dialog. The colour is back to the
default Black. Now add border, then change the border colour: the colour stays.
If you modify default Cell Style, add borders to it and change their default
colour, the colour persists.

This was the same in OOo 3.3.

However, it is true that it feels at odds with e.g. Font Effects, in which it's
possible to change the default font colour for a style, which will then be used
for all new text. And other settings in the Border tab, like Padding.

Others are also wondering how to change the default border colour:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-change-the-default-border-color-that-is-used-when-adding-new-borders/70006
Similarly, about default border width:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/calc-way-to-set-default-border-outline-width-thickness/20568

I'm changing this to a request to make border colour / width / style changes
persist as a default for a style, even if no border is set.

Regina and UX/Design team, what do you think? Am I missing something? Surprised
I can't find a duplicate.
