Remove material colors

I found numerous threads dealing with purging materials, colors, etc but no clear answer on how to delete or purge colors. Specifically, I want to get rid of all the carpet colors, among others. In the Styles & Standards Editor, Color menu, there's no "Delete" button or nothing on the right-click menu. There is a grayed-out "Purge Style" though. My library is current "Read / Write", so I should be able to edit or delete the style. In fact, I *can* delete or "Purge Style" if I select a material.

if you want to remove them from the list you should try the "style library manager" found in the tools section for your inventor version in the start menu...

You'll have to edit the material/appearance libraries.
Probably best to read through the help:
http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2014/ENU/?guid=GUID-0754AF9A-43EA-47C5-BE08-3D229A858337

I'd suggest making backup's of the default libraries and adding your edited libraries to your project.
