Calling colors by there alien names probably violates copyright. We should
rename the colors.

The point of the colors is for users to identify that they are the same
chart color palette used by default in MSO, so not sure how renaming them
from 'MS Office 201X XXXXXXX' would be of benefit or be understandable to
users. Also i've seen other office suites that have also used similar
naming, e.g. Softmaker Office[1] uses 'Excel 2010' and 'Excel 5.0', so doubt
there is an issue. Also we do have 'MS Excel' in our help.

We do have MS Excel when we refer to MS Excel functions or interoperability.
But it's not a good idea to rename palettes using Microsoft branding, it's
really not what we want to show our users and contributors. Please bring this
to legal@tdf before submitting such changes, thanks!. Sophie
