Hi Rob,

Thanks for the screenshot Hillar added to the wiki:

And many thanks for this explanation (and the following) too!

So you provide additional default colors for charts with more than 12 
colors.

Is this the right use case?

Rob, I like your way to allow the user to chose without being trapped in 
a bunch of new features they need to understand before.

Just one question, as I can't try the feature by myself:

Do you provide the same confirmation window as the standard color 
selector in Options - LibreOffice - Colors when removing a color:
"Do you want to delete the color?"

Or is it different like "Do you want to remove the color from the 
default colors?"

I can see neither of them in the patch you posted on the dev list (but 
I'm not a developer, so I might be wrong).

Besides from this point I think your patch allows the user to be more 
flexible with large charts - especially with pie charts, where 12 
different colors can lead to repeated colors leading to the opinion that 
the data showing the same color should be related.

Thanks for improving this situation!

Best regards

Bernhard
