Hi Thomas,

I'll CC the Design Team to make them aware of the issue ...

Hhm, when I made up the values, I relied on what Inkscape provides - no
there is no color space specific calculation of the CMYK values (to be
honest, it is a very simple transformation).

Concerning the printing, do you print that on a "consumer grade" printer
- then I can check as well ...

Sorry for the inconvenience, did anybody else consider this problem (I
know that some of you do also use AI). The source can be found here:

When I "pick" the colors, everything is fine (Hex / RBG value in Gnome).
Do you use a color calibrated display for that - sometimes that alters
the color values picked "on" screen?

Another question - if I look at the logo, the distances between TDF
Symbol and LibreOffice text seems to be different. Did you use the
version from the branding wiki page?


Thomas, thanks for your work!

Cheers,
Christoph
