I apologize for offending you by using the word "better". I should have
said "different" (than what comes standard in Ooo) and that I was hoping
for "better" I will try your suggestion and see how it works for me.
I'm just a user and haven't heard of many of the things you mentioned,
but if I tinker with something long enough I can usually figure it out.
Thanks for the tips.

It sounds like you have created a better way to pick colors for Ooo but
All I do is edit the color configuration file. This is fairly easy to
do, _but_ you have to know the Hexadecimal RGB value of the color.
I am very interested in a better way to select colors.
Use it, before saying that it is a better way to select colors.
I uploaded colour_pallette_14.soc to
http://esnips.com/web/OOoRelatedThings/ today.
Going by the RGB data, thee are roughly 4K different colors.
May I have more information?
If you want to add your own colors, then:
Copy standard.soc to working.soc
Open working.soc.
Add your new colors at the end of the list of colors, but before the
"</office:color-table>",
The line to add is:
<draw:color draw:name="color_name" draw:color="#RGB"/>
where:
* "color_name" is the name of your new color;
* "RGB" is the hexadecimal value of the RGB values of the color;
Repeat for each colour you want to add.
Somewhere I have a spreadsheet that converts CYMK to hexadecimal RGB.
When I find it, I'll upload it to my OOo folder at esnips.
Is it an easy install?
Just copy the new file over standard.soc --- making a backup of
standard.soc first.
To see the colors, you will have to restart OOo. This includes
shutting down quickstarter.

I seem to have delete my palette that contained the Crayola colors. :(
It was the brightest palette I had. I'll reconstruct it over the next
fortnight.
