LibreOffice '.odg' file showing recommended color palette

The current color palette used by LibreOffice is not reproducible across a
range of display monitor brands, types and settings (e.g. LCD vs. CRT),
printer brands, types and settings (e.g. laser vs. ink jet) and software
type (e.g. native LibreOffice '.odg' vs. 'pdf').

Recommend using the standard color palette shown in the attached file:
<RgbColorVectors_18JUN2014.odg>  Page 1 shows the color palette; page 2
shows the mathematics used to generate the palette; page 3 shows two
representative color wheels.

The advantage of this color palette is that it is independent of display
monitor, printer and software technology.  This is the same color palette
that many manufacturers use to test their products.  It will never go
obsolete so long as 256-bit RGB color vectors are used.

That's true, and it's also incredibly easy to implement.

However, I'm thinking the reason that it's not used is because the colors
aren't very pleasant to look at (at least the fully saturated colors can be
quite an eyesore). There's also a lack of light options. Those are just my
initial observations, though -- it'd be good to see some research on this.

Could you make an example document showcasing these colors? I'd be especially
curious about how well they work in charts.
