Create new WPF page which is subset of current page

I am creating a WPF application which behaves like a 'Windows Wizard', when I press a button in MainWindow it should navigate to say Page2.

For Page2 I added a new WPF page from VisualStudio.
Is there any way for this new page to inherit some attributes from main window, like background,dimension,title,etc since most of the attributes are same.

you can use ResourceDictionaries for stuff like Color Attributes etc.

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <Color x:Key="LimeColor">#FFA4C400</Color>
    <SolidColorBrush Color="{StaticResource LimeColor}" x:Key="Lime" />
</ResourceDictionary>

App.xaml

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/YourDictionary.xaml" /> 
</Application.Resources>

For the correct Source see: Pack URIs in WPF

Page and Window for example:

<Grid Background="{StaticResource Lime}">

Or you can define Styles and Templates in WPF for any ControlTypes.
