Heiko,

I can't see what's wrong with having two standard palettes hard-wired into
LibreOffice: one reasonably-sized sRG palette and CIE-HLC. That way, they can
be assured to have two standard palettes available that cannot be changed, even
by coincidence, which helps to secure colour communication across computers,
platforms and workflows. In cross-media workflows that's what you want, and
LibreOffice is by far the best office suite in these workflows. I presented
LibreOffice plus the HLC palette and the related colour fan to some influential
people of Switzerland's publishing scene as a follow-up to a presentation on
cross-media publishing two weeks ago. The feedback was very positive, and I've
already been notified that some Swiss publishing companies decided to throw out
OO.o after these two presentations, or installed LO in addition to MS Office.
Safe colour communication is very important here!

fF and com2publish will also produce videos to promote LibreOffice as the ideal
office suite in cross-media workflows. Having CIE-HLC + an sRGB palette
hard-wired into the programme makes it even easier to convince people to
switch!

The only required addition is an update to the help files. I'd volunteer to
write it in English and German.
