@ Mirek2 "example document"

The color palette I proposed is intended to solve device compatibility and
software longevity issues.  It's an objective compromise to a solve a problem
that is inherently subjective to every person.  It will always be necessary to
allow a user to make his or her own colors.  In fact, it is doubtful that any
two graphic artists would agree on the best choice of colors.

For example, the color brown is almost impossible to match between devices.  If
you have to use brown, then you will probably need to adjust the color mixture
so that it looks good on your monitor.  However, be prepared to have your
'brown' look more orange or red on other devices.

I've attached some examples for your consideration:

< OpenOfficeColorPalette_08DEC2013.odg > shows color palette compatibility
problems between different versions of OpenOffice.

< StandardColorPalette_06MAY2014.odg > shows the standard color palette that
I've adopted in my line of work.  I wouldn't expect others to like it, as it's
intended to be used by electronics engineers.

< WbBridge_28MAR2012.pdf > shows a '.pdf' example of a document that I created
in my line of work.  These documents sometimes take two or three years to
complete, so any change of color palette during revision changes is annoying.
