--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
That is a lovely palette but not clear it is appropriate. You throw away 3
columns with blanks. But even so it is OK down to the first accent row, then
looses cohesiveness.

Otherwise Brewer & Wooddruff's ColorBrewer [1] is a special use palette
generator of choropleth map color schemes [2]. No real color theme across the
whole palette and the organization/sequencing you've chosen in picking
generated choropleth maps to string together follows no recognizable color
theory.

Also the palette has issues with the color naming for the generated
strips--untranslatable.

At 5.3 we provide the tonal.soc (bug 80196), and the freecolour-hlc.soc (bug
104052) structured SOC palettes. And at 5.4 the standard.soc was converted to
RYB color model, which for 6.1 the RYB standard.soc was rebuilt (bug 114719)
using Eddy's Gossett and Chen implementation [3]. So spend some time with
current  6.0.1 build, or a current master to see if those palettes are more to
your liking.

Then if you still prefer your palette, fine use it. If you think others would
benefit -- clean it up and package as an extension. But believe technical flaws
in layout and construction render it unsuitable for inclusion in LO core.

IMHO => WF
