What an intelligent self-installing extension would do, is read the LibO
configuration file, to determine where to place the palette.

However, the specifications appear to require the path that the palette
is placed in, to be in the  config.xcu, which is part of the extension.
If something like ~/libreoffice/share/palette worked, that would
simplify matters, but when I tried it, it didn't work. :(

One piece of documentation that I think should be a priority, is a PDF,
with an accompanying video, showing how to put your dictionary, colour
palette, color gradient, or template into an oxt file for distribution
to third parties.

Well, they could be that.

1 - Here is a very readable edited page for the weird colors.
libreoffice-na.us/Weird-Color-Names.pdf

I prefer colours like Incardnadine.

Had to look that one up.
Flesh-Colored.

Well the French and Italians do have some interesting decorative names 
and ideas, even if it was from the 16th century.  But the updated verb 
for it seems to be "to make the color of flesh" or "to redden".



Then there is the color palettes that have OSHA, Dept. of Transit,
Military, etc., specific color lists.  They may be useful for users.

I've got the colour palettes. What I don't have, is the ability to
successfully wrap them into an extension that places them where they belong.

I have not tried to make an extension yet, but first the question would 
be do you need a different one for every OS and distro type? That would 
be something to have the extension do be able to know which OS and where 
it needs to go in these different systems.


I still have not had more than a minute or few to figure out what is in 
the coding here:


"https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/12/30/new-color-palettes-in-libreoffice/";

I may need to change the top config lines of the palettes to reflect the 
"description" in this code.



http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006";
xmlns:d="http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006";
xmlns:lo="http://libreoffice.org/extensions/description/2011";
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>

I do not remember all of the reading I did years ago about making 
dictionaries and extensions.

Maybe after Labor Day [Sept. 4th], I can do some more research on these 
topics.  I am preparing for a "movie night" project on Thursday evening, 
since I am providing the movie [Hatari - John Wayne], the video 
projector [up to 200+ inch screen and more], and the 7+ foot wide tripod 
screen.  After that, all I have to do with that project is decide what 
the next movie is and when.  So I hope to have some time to do other things.

I've got the colour palettes. What I don't have, is the ability to
successfully wrap them into an extension that places them where they belong.

Here are a few of the weird color names.

Colour names can be, well, strange. Very strange. Take a look at the
names of lipstick and nail polish colours.


937c00 - "babypoop"
8f9805 - "babypoopgreen"

 From a marketing perspective, I personally think those names are
terrible. OTOH, those colours are almost as bad looking as the names
are.  Regardless, those are common names for those specific shades.

Worse luck: A few years ago, they were fairly popular with builders
doing large condo projects. So long as the purchaser doesn't know the
name of the colour on the can of paint, the sale will go through.


Yes, colors names like "moon glow blue" or "blushing love pink" are just 
a marking idea so the colors would have names that would promote certain 
ideas or emotions. To be honest, I just made up these color names but 
there may be such names somewhere.


I did read a statement that there are specific standard of colors that 
use 20+ color names and then add adjectives to it for the "shades" of 
these small group of names.  Names like pale_Pink, deep_Red, 
strong_Brown, vivid_Yellow, strong_Green, etc., etc..


What I also like is color names that looks like the color. AppleGreen, 
Banana, Bronze, Butter, Celery, Cocoa, Coffee, Cinnamon, Heather, Lemon, 
Lime, and other colors that people associate a "real object" name with a 
specific color.  That would be a nice list to have.  I may make one.  
Since LibreOffice shows the color names as you hover over them, having a 
list of colors with these "real objects" might help our users.


Names like allports, almondfrost, atomic, california, and others like 
this do have any real object that associate with these names.


Noe LibreOffice has names like Green3 and Yellow0.  Since these colors 
are for Branding purposes, they do not need to have a more descriptive 
names.  This is the same for the lists of specific colors like OSHA 
Safety Yellow.  The OSHA colors are specific colors to be used for 
people's, or environmental, safety needs.




What is the URL for these two lists?


1 - Here is a very readable edited page for the weird colors.

libreoffice-na.us/Weird-Color-Names.pdf 



2- The various USA standard colors, etc.

libreoffice-na.us/w3schools--usa-color-standard.pdf 



3 - Most of the gold and brown colors came from the below list.  The 
original location of the PDF files is listed within this file.


liberoffice-na.us/resene-a--Alphabetical Color Chart.pdf 




The USA and UK specific color lists are in the W3Schools.com web site.

They have a color list with this quote
 "The Natural Color System (NCS) is the color standard (for interior 
design, decorating, and painting) in Sweden, Spain, Norway and South 
Africa."


and

"The NCS standard is unique because it is based entirely on the 
perception of colors (how eyes naturally see red, yellow, blue, green, 
white, and black)."


That large list has a list of color "description number" and a Hex Code 
number.  If you use the description of the color, they have a Javascript 
to convert it to the closest HTML usable color code.



Those long lists of shades are for people who want/need very specific
shades, for the colouring scheme.

jonathon

That is why I am making small palettes that feature a specific color 
name and related colors.  I know a number of people who need a better 
color than listed in the "standard.soc" and other palettes.  When I am 
making posters with Writer, browns and other "included" palette colors 
many times do not look good printed out.  So, I now have the time to 
start making the various palettes I would love to have even a year ago.


Then there is the color palettes that have OSHA, Dept. of Transit, 
Military, etc., specific color lists.  They may be useful for users.


ALSO

The "w3schools" has resources for various areas of web page development.
