Thank you for the further information.

I tested the palette you sent and could see no difference in Dark Blue 3 but
could see a difference in  Dark Blue 4.  It did not appear bluer, however. 

It sounds like this new standard palette will be quite helpful for artists and
graphic designers. But I still don't understand why the standard palette should
be changed to accommodate that subset of specialists rather than regular users.
How does this decision benefit them? I must be missing something.

Let’s say, for example, that someone created a number of graphical elements
using the standard palette. Now they want to make more graphical elements with
those same colors but the standard palette has changed.  The old standard
palette is not even included in the 6.02 version I have. Do they now need to
create their own palette? If so, why put them in the position of having to do
that? 

As a side note, you mention the RGB tonal palette and the CIE Lab process color
palette for CMYK printing. I don’t see palettes clearly labeled with those
names, although presumably “tonal” is the RGB palette. Wouldn’t it be helpful
to have the names match the type of palette? How would someone looking for an
RYB palette know that that Standard palette is an RYB palette?  

Why not treat the RYB palette like the other specialized palettes?

I know that you and others have put a lot of work and thought into this and am
sure that there are good reasons for these decisions. However, from a user
perspective, they seem baffling.
