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
Hi Fernand,
Yes this is also another re-use. OOo is able to display the whole
spectrum of colors. Usually you get this dialog when you want to add a
new color.

How hard would it be to have this palette visible to the UI and just
add a color chooser feature. This is not hard as is it just taking the
hex value of the mouseover.
Hi Alexandro,
OK now we need a "right click" who copy the value and opens a color
dialog who ables to copy the new color to the OO-palette not only in
Draw but in ALL aplications !
A color "changer" in all aplications not just Draw, would also be a
great tool, I mean: a simple dialog who can fine a color found in the
color table 'or difend by ist values and replace it by a new one
Inkscape does it and so as the rest of the
graphic software.

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
