How to add a color from a manufacturer to Revit

ARCAT has colors from Sherwin Williams, and the colors were downloaded and put on a file.  I select a desired color, lets say, color 6493 Ebbtide (as an example) from the palette.  How do I put that color on the Revit model so it could be used?  I tried copy and pasted on the 3D model, but is not working, so I assume that might have to be another place or folder where it is put.

Any feedback about this?

Thanks in advance.

Is there a Material Parameter? Likely there is. That's where you assign the Material. 

 

...just to clarify: you are talking about how to apply a Material that in your Project's or Family's Material Library to a Modeled Element that you downloaded.  Do I understand correctly?  

 

...Ah! I think I misunderstood. You found a COLOR that you want to use. Right? If so, create a new material (maybe use the Paint Asset) and use the color you downloaded.  What is it? An RGB definition?
