[tdf-discuss] an "update" color standard.soc file available

As I stated in other posts, I have been working on adding colors to the 
default set that comes with the LO install.

My current list of colors is now at 3965 color boxes.  Yes, there are 
some duplicates, but I have kept them due to their color sequences.

First in the list are the included colors, then I start off with some 
color shading, then some specific named colors like various Bronze, 
Gold, Silver, Ruby, Blue, and other colors.  After that I have a list of 
colors that are sorted by "hue and lightness" from lightest to darkest.  
You can also say they are sorted from #FFFFFF down to #000000, i.e. from 
white/lightest towards black/darkest colors.  That is the reverse of the 
original listing of colors in a color sheet PDF.  After that, I have the 
"99 shades of Gray" and then a Pantone style of color list.

I am looking at merging other color lists into the "hue-base" part of 
the listing.  Of course, in 4.1.x line, the color boxes are smaller than 
what I have seen on the 4.2.x tests.

Yes, for many people, that may be too many color choices.  But for now, 
I am making a large list.  Later on, I will look into making specific 
smaller lists of colors, maybe for specific tasks.  That may happen this 
spring.  Maybe have a LO set that includes the Crayola colors for the 
kids and the color shades for the "adult artists".

Next will be adding these two color sets [resene-2010 is a little 
different from the original]

to this one already in the color list

by the way - printing these colors out, unless you have an expensive 
printer, will be much darker than what you see on the monitors.   I have 
tried this and have not printed these PDF files to look "light enough" 
to match my monitor's "default" brightness.
