What you are really asking is how you should use Pantone colors in
GIMP, aren't you?

Pantone colors would be awesome, but I figure it's probably not feasible 
for legal reasons.  Even so, Pantone doesn't cover every situation, and 
there will be plenty of GIMP users who have never heard of Pantone 
before, or don't have a book, or whatever other reason.


Those users still need to be able to collaborate, and the least common 
denominator is generally still an sRGB triple.  Moreover, if someone 
says make an image that works with the colors on my website, you can't 
use Pantone with CSS.  Again, the least common denominator is an sRGB 
triple.

OMG. People still actually believe this long debunked myth? :)

Where I live companies either have a brandbook with Pantone/CMYK/HSV
colors defined to use on the web and in print, or expect you to use
sRGB triple indeed.

  Maybe this should have even been the proper behavior for Repeat None -

  can bring new ways to use the blending tool and GIMP itself.

  Comments on this idea anyone?
 
 
  I like the idea, but I don't think that making it the default behavior for
  Repeat None is a good idea. People are used to the current behavior, that
  extends the last color.
  But as an extra option, it would be really useful.

I completely agree. This is essentially the same as GEGL's or cairo's
repeat modes, and don't repeat at all is clearly missing in GIMP.

 Please note I don propose changing the behavior of repeat None - I just
 consider that maybe it should have been the default in the begining,
 but not changing it now.

Not so sure here, maybe the default should be changed. But at the
very least we should have a true repeat none as option.

Don't let my misconceptions stop someone from making Pantone easy to use 
from GIMP :o)
