How to install a new color book to your AutoCAD?

Just copy your newly created or downloaded .ACB file to your local folder (e.g. for AutoCAD 2016):

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\R20.1\enu\Support\Color\

or - if you use another folder - add it through the OPTIONS > Files > Color Book to your AutoCAD's search path. Start the Options dialog with the OPTIONS command.

Then you can select your newly added color book in the COLOR dialog (in the Color Book tab).

Multiple color books can be downloaded from Download
