Color Change Tutorial

I was using the color change tutorial, and it is fantastic! I was wondering if anyone knows a way to make the colors stayed changed on different scenes. I have the same movie clip on each scene, but once I switch scenes the colors go back to the default. This is what I have for my buttons.

on (press) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.brown");
colorful.setRGB(0xB58F75);
}
