I agree, I'm just saying what is in 2.49 now and the work around. We use a 2k image with 8 game characters dressed in typical outfit, and then grids of color swatches for each of their skin lips eye hairs, and then grids of kuler-type complementary color schemes for clothing and items. The grids of skin color, for example specify the color for lit/unlit/shadow/edge colors.
We can currently use a nodal naming in the MA: field, although a visual tree concept and menu/selector would be awesome as you choose family and then branches. For example, we currently name stuff like prop.broom.handle.red.lit and have started running out of characters. Disney and other shops have implemented strict color management and have tools also, as I am sure Photosphop must. GIMP just has 16. I think it comes down to what Angela (?) needs for Durian, but I am sure they are going to run into the challenge of having to manage so many colors across machines and blend files and linkages. Your request is awesome, and if it would be linked to the color picker and everywhere colors are used, would be great way to implement. Also thinking of Matt's linear solution too as a ramification. ---------------- Sent by Roger Wickes for intended recipient.

A set of colors of arbitrary size, even give colors an alias name, name palettes and have several palettes stored in your blend file. And to be able to edit those of course. Palettes are more than just "bookmarks" for quickly selecting a color value manually, they can also be used by tools, materials, in shading, compositing, filters, effects,... and so on.
