1. A method comprising:
controlling a first lighting load in a first zone in a building to a first color setting, wherein the first color setting comprises a first correlated color temperature (CCT) value or a first full color value;
in response to receiving a selection to change a current color setting of the first lighting load from the first color setting to a second color setting, controlling the current color setting of the first lighting load in the first zone to the second color setting, wherein the second color setting comprises a second CCT value or a second full color value;
in response to an indication to save the current color setting of the first lighting load, saving the second color setting of the first lighting load to a predefined set of saved color configurations;
receiving an indication to define a scene for controlling a second zone in the building, wherein the second zone comprises a second lighting load;
while defining the scene, displaying the predefined set of saved color configurations for user selection to define a third color setting for controlling the second lighting load in response to an activation of the scene, wherein the predefined set of saved color configurations comprises the second color setting;
in response to a selection of the second color setting in the predefined set of saved color configurations, automatically configuring the third color setting for controlling the second lighting load in response to the activation of the scene to the second color setting in the predefined set of saved color configurations;
receiving a triggering event configured to activate the scene; and
controlling the second lighting load to the third color setting in response to the triggering event.
