Well, sort of.   :-)

I realize it's possible to add *any* color(s) to a palette*, but in order to have a truly universal 
/palette/, every possible 24/32 bit combinations would have to be added. I would presume that is 
impractical, if not impossible in realistic terms...? What I would personally like to see is a 
color chooser widget with every possible color directly selectable (whether by direct picking or 
via RGB / HSL / CMYK numbers, etc.), plus optionally the ability to save named custom colors as 
well as to filter it to show only specific palettes (eg, websafe colors, etc.). Nothing really new, 
per se -- Much like GTK, Windows, QT, etc. -- Just not (yet) availble in LibO.

* Although the only place I've found so far in LibO where a specific (file) palette can be loaded 
from disk is on the background color attrtibutes dialog in Draw. I don't have OOo installed any 
longer, but ISTR seeing the "load palette from disk" option available elsewhere. Has that been 
removed or am I remembering wrong?

Thanks!
