  Yes.
  
  I'm using:
  
  * Version (Program): 4.3.11.
  * Version (Brick): 2670.
  * OS: Windows.
  
  **Pre Setup:**
  
  We're using *Extended Mode* (Black Backsplash) of LDD, so we can have full access to all colors. I have not tested the other two modes, *Default* (Blue Backsplash) or *Mindstorms* (White Backsplash).
  
  If the model is in *Default Mode*. No problem.
  
  * Copy the build to memory *(CTRL+A)* then *(CTRL+C)*;
  * Open a new blank file in *Extended Mode*;
  * and Paste from memory *(CTRL+P)*;
  * Give file a different name as not to overwrite the original;
  * Re-save.
  
  **Setup:**
  
  * Use the "COLOR Selecting Tool" and select a piece's color you want to
    change.
  * All of that color is now highlighted.
  * Use the "Invert Selection Tool" to reverse highlight everything not
    that color.
  * Use the "Hide Tool" to make everything not that color disappear.
  * Use the "Single Selection Tool" to block select the visible pieces
    that are getting a color change.
  * Use the "Paint Tool" and pick the new color being used.
  * Click the "Show all hidden bricks" button.
