Re: [libreoffice-users] getting larger set of colors that the standard that comes with LO -corrected URL

I am working with a table that takes a color and then starts listing 
lighter shades of that color till it is a very light shade that my wife 
would have called off-white or nearly white shade of "such and such color".

see this image.

I have included these two "tables" to the color list.

As for the rest, well, there seems to be no real difference in the load 
time with the large color file or the smaller one.  The "last color 
used" is needed for many purposes.  I would like to see the color list 
for fonts and highlighted colors in Writer to be widened to more 
"columns"  Also, maybe widen each color "cell" a bit more as well.  But 
That is not up to me.

I hate "basic" color sets.  It is like someone telling me I am limited 
to what they think I wand and need and not what I should use.  LO has a 
color adding system, one at a time, at the end of the current list, but 
I like to see the colors in the list where I would like to put them.
