I am trying to create colour samples of vector objects which I have initially drawn in a Purple shade card. Now I would like to have the same object in a blue shadecard and then a green shade card maintaining relationships between the colours in the different parts of the object. Can someone help me with this.

Do you mean something like tints of purple in 10% steps (0, 10, 20 ... 90 ... 100%) followed by the same tints of blue and green ?
If so, the easy way to achieve this is to draw a white rectangle on left of page, a solid purple rectangle on the right and then add a 9 step blend between them. But note that the white rectangle must be a solid white fill, not transparent.
The nice thing about this is that you can duplicate the entire blend several times, changing the colour of the rightmost rectangle and the in-between steps will automatically change in proportion.
Or you could have blends between specific colours rather than just tints of one colour.
Thanks for your reply but not exactly. I have the following object and as you can see there are various shades of purple here. I want to maintain the relationship between the different parts of the object and change the color scheme of the object to say blue and then also create a sample in green. I am looking for a simpler way to do it than refill the entire object all over again with colors.
Color Styles docker should help you
You can also try adjusting either the Color Balance or Hue/Saturation/Lightness from the Effects > Adjust menu.
ColorYourWorld is absolutely correct. You can create color styles and the drag and drop color palettes and all colors will change. Please look up Color Styles Docker.
Good news!
As you may have heard, CorelDRAW X6 has been released today, and a trial version is available for download.There's a small video as well, that shows how it works.
There is a new feature that may be helpful when playing with colors; Color Harmonies.It is possible to define colors and create a harmony, that then later can be changed, either each color individually, or the entire harmony in one go.
I think this could be what you are looking for, Sankalp.
