Alexandro,
Next to the ussability of the current color table there is a more
fundamental problem in OO. When opening a document from a other OO-user
its virtualy impossible to find out the value's of the colors found in
this document. In our company we uses a special macro who imports
"standardised" color table to make sure all "company colors" are the
same on every machine.
More important is to have a "colorpicker tool" who picks the color in
the doc and then can be added as a new color to the color table. This
sould be a great step to more professional use off colors in OO

So I would like to improve the color table, I think the current color
table is too poor compared to graphic software like scribus or
karbon. The colors showed by OOo are too narrow to follow. Before
pushing the color table to at least a decent ammount of color and
also rename the colors to a more appealing palette. I would also like
to know why there hasn't been any push to change this. Is there a
technical limitation or is it just because this colors are safe for
printing and viewing on the screen?
There might be a problem in the fact, that the colors are often used
in drop-down-lists. Currently we have up to 130 colors in the lists.
Does the user want to scroll through more than 600 colors, for example?
There is no technical problem. You can test it easily. Save the
standard.soc with a new name, open this and another palette file in an
editor and copy all the elements
<draw:color draw:name=".." draw:color=".." />
together. Mixing standard.soc and html.soc that way gives a nice palette.
The real problem is not to get a lot of colors, but to arrange them in
a good way.
kind regards
Regina
