[OpenICC] colour palettes/lists

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Even if spot colours are a very interessting toppic, I like to bring the
attention to the origin of my post:

  Colour palettes in the sense of a colour collections for brushes, pens 
  and so on in drawing applications.


So let me repeat my question(s) about colour palettes for painting:

Are there widely used formats for inter application exchange of pen
colours (documented and extensible)?
Is there a need for a new one?
Would be the Microsoft xml format a valuable candidate (documentation)?
What about svg?
Is the overlapping of a colour managment colour list format (CGATS/ncl2)
and an painting colour palette desireable?


Thanks
