So, here is what I have finally done :

- I have an UDT containing :  
-- a Memory Dataset of columns Index (Int), Description (String), Color (Color) containing all possible animation used by Styles customizer  
-- a expression tag for each color usable outside of Styles customizer referencing the dataset. This way it's easier to use for single color references  
-- a memory tag for each color NOT used in Styles customizer for background of popup windows for exemple of for unanimated element.
- I have another UDT containing blinking tag
- In every animated object, I have create an int containing the reference Index of the color Dataset. Additionally, I use the appropriate blinking tag to change this value. This int is used in the Style customizer as long as the color dataset

This wait every color I use several times is referenced in that UDT and if I wanted, I could create an editor and make it available to the user so he could change the colors.
