Hi All,
I'd like to start a discussion about our default palettes. Since Jon implemented the feature years back, I've done many casual surveys of which palettes designers are using and which ones designers want. My suggestion is that we sanitize our current collection of palettes to make inkscape easier for common tasks as well as remove the bloat.
Here's what i recommend: --------- Kill: gray, blues, gold, green, reds, royal. hilte, topographic, khaki, and inkscape-default (its a bad default)
Keep, tango, echo, ubuntu, XP, latex, websafe22, webhex
Add: Android palette (below) and fedora's echo palette ------------
I also suggest we default to either tango, android, or ubuntu. it doesnt matter which one. only that we simplyfy the range of colours being displayed by default so that artists can quickly pickup a few primary hues.
my reasons for listing the palettes i did in the kill pile are simply that they offer far too many variations of the same hues. its a confusingly big list and in a typical workflow, the fill and stroke dialog is the best and easiest place to go if you want to vary parameters on a selected hue. of course a few variations are fine
What do you all think? Jon, do you mind making this change?
Andy
