When you import a condition its colour is imported with it BUT if a colour
with the same name already exists in the destination document its colour
settings are preserved.  For example, document A has a condition Foo with a
Foo-tone colour which is red.  You import conditions from document A into
document B which already has a Foo-tone colour set to blue.  Now both
documents have a Foo condition with a Foo-tone colour whose appearance
differs in each document.  This is enough to raise an inconsistent
indicators error message and hence my recommendation to import colours
along with conditions.  Preferably, master conditions and colours should be
set up in a condition control file.
