How to set a postman environment variable's value to another variable's?

So let's say I have a list of environment variables and their values. Now I want to add another variable, but also set its value as one of the existing variables' value.

Here is an example; let's say I need to keep track of hex colors. Then I'd have variables like

VARIABLE | INITIAL VALUE | CURRENT VALUE
Red      |               | #ff0000
Green    |               | #00ff00
Blue     |               | #0000ff

and possibly a few more.

Now how would I add a default color Color variable where I set it to one of the existing variables instead of copy pasting their values? I still need the individual color variables, but also would be nice to have a default variable I can change it's value once in a while to one of the exiting variables.

In reality I have bunch of GUIDs and it's easy to mess them copy pasting them multiple times. So I want to define them just once and reuse these variables.

Simply setting the default color to one of the defined variables seems to work. The following sets the Default variable to Red's value of #ff0000

VARIABLE | INITIAL VALUE | CURRENT VALUE
Red      |               | #ff0000
Default  |               | {{Red}}
