Description Heiko Tietze 2016-11-20 05:40:59 UTC
As discussed in bug 80196 and in http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/quot-LibreColour-quot-palettes-for-LibreOffice-td4200043.html the palettes cmyk, palette, gallery, and web are dispensable.

Scribus.soc is also obsolete since it is not one of Scribus' native color sets but rather consists of X11 colors.

It suggest the removal of the libreoffice and tango palettes as well.

Could live with Tango but not without LibO as our own branding palette. Rather drop everything else.

How is a brand palette useful to the regular user?

Palettes in general are useful, and the LibreOffice branding in particular for us. You will know Microsoft graphics, for instance, by the ugly Excel design and their colors. We'd loose our identity without own colors that makes LibO documents unique. Actually I would made this the standard but haven't thought about bug 87538. Today we use "Tango: Sky Blue 1" very often (despite the bad name it's not our branding what we use).

The 32-colors of the LibreOffice palette is available in the standard palette, so there isnt a need for a palette that only has the LibreOffice branded colors in it. You can find 'Tango: Sky Blue 1' as the second last color in the standard palette.

Sorry for my bad English. Was trying to explain my point but failed obviously. I was not looking for this color but took it as an example.
