Dear devs,
I've had some complaints that Inkscape's default palette isn't that welcoming to new users. It's too harsh and varied. A number of users have asked me personally why we don't use the Tango palette as our default palette and move Inkscape default to a new name.
I don't actually know which palette would be the best to have as the default. Would a poll be a useful way to find out?
To aid, I've committed a soc2gpl script so we can have a look at LibreOffice palettes for comparison.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
Hi Martin,
are you referring to the "Tango icons" palette? If so I'd say it's not a default good choice. A palette that does not even have "#f00/#0f0/#00f" or any of the named web colors is not a good default in my opinion.
I agree everything next to "Fuchsia" in the default palette is likely not widely used - but then again I don't see a problem with that? The additional colors are there if one needs them (so it's a good thing) and if one does not need/want to use them they don't really hurt either.
Can you elaborate on how a color palette can be "unwelcoming" or even "harsh and varied"? For me that sounds like a very subjective statement.... If individuals don't like the spectrum of the default palette they can just choose a different palette after all!
Cheers, Patrick
