All your sectors will start with the dflt.cmp, I think. Multiselect them all and change the colormap setting in the item editor (not the level header dialogue) to your master cmp. There's also a cmp fix plugin which does the same thing, I think it comes with the "mini-plugins" pack. The only time you can use a different sector cmp from the master cmp is to make a room with a colorized colormap. For instance, you are using 01narsh. You can use the 01red or 01yellow to make room that would be red or yellow tinted. Sort of like using a sector tint, but not exactly.
Don't use dflt.cmp, I have no idea why it's even there. It's a subset of UIcolormap.cmp which is a subset of all other cmps. So anything that looks good in uicolormap will look the same in all other colormaps except dflt.cmp, which there is no earthly reason to use.
The colormaps I use most often are 01Narsh, 06Barons, 03house, and 54sith (in mots).
