Years ago I constructed these two swatches for a 2D animation program. 
Note the shift to get the reds not on the edge and putting everyone's 
favourite purple there instead.

This kind of layout gives you access to the brights as well as 
desaturated versions. The central portion contains the colors most 
likely to be selected.

Sadly I do not find Inkscape's default palette or swatch very useful 
past initial color assignment. Wish the palette was two rows. Wish the 
swatch had options. (I'm running 92.3)

     Just for a comment from a humble and simple user, I like the default 

 palette. Of course I'm not really an artist, and know little to

 nothing about color theory, or what makes good color or bad color.  I

 really just like bright colors.  But the default palette seems to

 provide a wide range of colors.

 Quote from doctormo:

 "Unwelcoming - The colours, when viewed for the first time, do not

 create warmth and joy to the eyes."

 Hhhmm, they actually do create warmth and joy to my eyes.  I'd rather

 have them logically organized, than organized towards beauty. 

 Although again, I'm completely untrained.

 Although having said all that, and now speaking as someone who answers

 support questions (which include complaints sometimes too) day in and

 day out.  It's very easy to change the palette and it's relatively

 easy to install new palettes.  Plus, it's fairly easy to make a

 Swatches palette (Auto palette), if you want to make with RGB and

 don't want to create a palette and install it.  If I saw complaints in

 a forum about the default palette, that's how I would answer them. 

 (Plus I would suggest a feature request, if they wanted to make it

 "official".)

 What if the user could organize the palette to suit themselves? Drag

 and drop? (although including some way to revert to default, in case

 chips got accidentally dragged and dropped)

 All best,

 brynn

 Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Default Palette

 To add a use case, users that create drawings for a laser cutter often

 need to set the color to RGB red (RGB 255,0,0) and sometimes also green,

 blue, yellow or purple. Similar looking colors don't work because

 postprocessing tools match the exact color.

 It is also helpful to have the most extreme options contained in a

 palette (just as you expect full black and white there, and not just

 some soft gray).

 But I agree that the color palette right of fuchsia is not very helpful

 and could be rearranged or changed.
