Hello, Mirek just updated his proposal and like most of what he does I likes it [1]<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Color_Handling#Proposal_by_Mirek2>. at first I did not like how little colors he added to the palette but when I looked at it closer I had a thought. unless I need a specific color, when I choose colors for anything I will probably chose one of three colors. something that is not too bright or neon (I hate neon colors on white, I think they only look good on black or dark backgrounds) then it will probably be light red, red, dark red or light blue, blue, dark blue. I like how besides the top gradient he has three of each color, light middle dark.
I do not know why but I did not like the idea of putting palettes in the color picker till I saw his new mockups [2]<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/7/7d/C-menu.png>. most likely seeing what would/could go in there. I also like that he put the custom color and color management options in the pallet drop down. this got me thinking that we could put the custom color, document colors and the resent colors under pallet menu. and being contextual it would be good to not show the custom color til you make some, document colors til the document has different colors the Default and the resent colors til the user has presently chosen something different. also being contextual the different pallets should not share colors e.g. text and highlight colors are different as in my mockup [3]<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/f/f1/Color_picker_1.PNG> . One thing that I think would be good for us to do would be to define some color palettes. for example what is the LibreOffice palette, in my mockup [3] <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/f/f1/Color_picker_1.PNG> would we call that something like the rainbow palette. I do not know of any other palettes we would use, maybe the metro or chrome palettes (just neat names for theatrical palettes) some questions I have about Mirek's mockups though. whats with the "X" and "+" in the top left corner of the color picker. I image that when defining a new color the "+" would add it and the "X" would delete it. if this is so then should it be under all palettes or just the custom color palette where you actually would add and delete them. why do they disappear when you add a color to the custom color palette [4]<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/8/8b/C-custom.png> [5] <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/2/2d/C-add.png>? also why does the palette selector disappear when you add a color to the custom palette. was this just a mess up when making? Mirek I really like what you have done.
