Icon and brand color palettes are primarily used by icon designers and those required to stick to sanctioned brand colors and as a result only have very few colors in them, which results in very limited usage of such a color palette by most users. (breeze has 31, tango has 29, libreoffice has 32) If we look at the GSoC proposal for the new color picker, it didnt include the tango palette in its design[1] and we dont use the tango palette for the tango icon theme we ship, so tango wouldnt be used by the tango icon designers that are in the design team, and the tango palette has long been abandoned. As mentioned in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=113858#c1">comment 1</a>, i was apposed to the addition of breeze for the reason mentioned above, and my comment was ignored in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_VERIFIED bz_closed" title="VERIFIED FIXED - Add Breeze palette" href="show_bug.cgi?id=104050">bug 104050</a>, and it wasnt added based on data requesting that it be added. Also the breeze icon theme no longer uses this limited color palette. I had suggested adding large color palettes in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - COLOR PICKER: New color palettes" href="show_bug.cgi?id=87541">bug 87541</a>, which contain enough colors to be beneficial to be used. The Libreoffice palette would be used by members of tdf and LO volunteers, but wouldnt be used by any other users and as such servers no purpose to be bundled by default. > Please attach to this bug report an extension enabling the palette you want > to remove.

For those interested in using these palettes, they are more than welcome to create them and add them to the extension website. Heiko wrote up a guide to do so here[2]. > So the extension > must be available before removing the palettes from the standard > installation and, as for dictionaries, a menu entry must be added to search > new palettes on the extensions website. Note that creation of the extension isnt a prerequisite of the palettes removal, similar to the removal of the oxygen theme before its extension was created. If a menu entry must be added to search for palettes on the extensions website, then you should suggest that to the extension website maintainer.
