Hi all,

I actually erased those palettes from my config folder. The point that they
have no "natural" name isn't the only problem but they are also cluttered.

Furthermore, I like the smaller color palettes but I found a fault on them:
colors look unsorted. Thus, from my user perspective I'd recommend to order in
columns (or rows) the colors any palette. For example, in this "tonal.soc",
there are some white spaces in order to maintain some consistency with the
tones. Any other color palette should

As Heiko already knows, I recently coded an app in Fortran 90 that generates a
color palette based on 12 RGB base colors. One could use, for example, the
branding LibO colors, or Tango or Breeze, to generate a palette. 

The way it does it's maybe suboptimal (Tomaž sugested to use HSL instead RGB
coordinates) but it works. Of course, more work could be putted on it.

For the ones interested, the code is in

and an example screenshot is in:

Sadly, mi app doesn't name colors other than its position on the matrix
(Emphasis 1, 2, etc.). But I've been thinking on how automatically name picked
colors. 
Maybe my head is quite a block, but It's simpler for me to think about RBG
coordinates, which are in a cubic space. Thus, one could assign dummy names for
specific spaces in the RGB cube. Thus, the name of a picked color inside the
space R < 10, G < 10, B < 100 could be something like "Dark blue". Nothing
special, of course! And all the space RGB should be covered. But as a result
all colors would have a _nicer_ name.
