or shade

Colors are not held inside ODF document by name, rather by RGB triplet. So this
does not affect any existing document or template. So while bringing a more
flexible color palette selection and management mechanism to
LibreOffice--reworking the color dialog--we simplified the standard palette to
be derived from a RYB named color wheel as preferred by artists and graphics
designers.

For modern technical design we provide the specialized RGB Tonal palette, and
the CIE Lab process color palette for CMYK printing. Adopting a RYB for
standard layout--rather than a HSV/HSL derived palette--presents traditional
color wheel used in Design and Art education.

I've attached an alternative RYB palette--with 70.5% tint, and 70.5% shade
where the RYB hues are more obviously rendered, and a sample document showing
that RYB chart at those levels.

To see if reducing the tint and shade is appealing, simply add the
"vsf_70pt5_standard.soc" to the LO installations: share -> palette folder, and
select the palette for use rather than standard.soc when choosing a defined
palette to work with.
