Hello guys, I had a chance to research color names in OO.o and I found that some of color names in OO.o do not match to the color itself. Those mismatched color names I found are
Blue -> Dark blue Green -> Dark green Turquoise -> Dark turquoise Red -> Dark red Magenta -> Dark magenta Brown -> Dark yellow . FYI, you can refer to list of colors & names (with Korean translation) in OO.o here - http://oooko.net/gomme/wp-content/uploads/ooo_color_table.pdf . The worst one is 'Brown'. When I tried the brown in OO.o, I thought that it is time to replace my monitor or to check up my eyes :-). After talking to my friends about this, I confirmed that this is a bug of OO.o and filed this issue - http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=51819 . As you might see in the issue, it was not taken as defect but as enhancement. Actually, I also agreed on that considering color selection UI in writer only. However, when I tried the UI in impress, I believe that this should be more than a enhancement. In impress, those mismatched color names really confuse users because the UI leads user to choose color mainly by its name instead of color itself. This screenshot shows the difference clearly - http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/28018/color_selection_ui.png. How do you guys think about this? Also, I wonder if there is a way to customize the color table. Any comment would be appreciated. Regards, Jeongkyu
