This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at Inkscape comes with horrible default palettes, witch will be used by most of new / old users.
Here is a little code that will generate new palette for inkscape. (palette has sRGB color correction applied).
Edit: .zip added, witch contains the palette file and .py fiele for generating it.
Edit: there was error in palette (hues where a bit off) fixed. (files updated)

Re: Better palette for inkscape
Well if you don't have time to answer, maybe someone else can explain.
1 -- What makes Inkscape's palettes "sucking"?
2 -- What is sRGB color correction?
I'm not sure, but I have the impression that the user has to be using some kind of special color profile, or calibration on their monitor for sRGB (whatever that is). So won't this palette only work when someone is using that?

Re: Better palette for inkscape
1 -- palette colors are in linear colorspace, but still shown without conversion in sRGB colorspace.
2 -- sRGB color correction is needed for converting images from linear colorspace to sRGB colorspace.
sRGB is THE standard colorspace used in computer monitors, so you can`t stop using it, because it is build in to your monitor.
So this palette will work ok in inkscape for users that don`t use special color profiles. (sRGB is NOT special, it is the standard.)
There are lot of info in web about sRGB if you wish to know more.

Hi.
Nice! Version 2 of the palette file works on my win system, version 1 did not.
Small error in the code?
According to the sRGB spec the RGB values should be rounded to the nearest integer, not the nearest lower integer.
to be replaced by;
The code to generate the svg file from the palette is nice as well, might be even better with some more comments

Re: Better palette for inkscape
Got it. Thanks brynn !
New palette is showing. I feel like a better man now.
Thanks TyrianFin ! <3
EDIT: i have one tiny complaint. Original palette said 50% grey (etc)...
This palette has the code as a pop up.

Hi.
As the GPL file is a "normal" text file you can replace the hex code for the RBG values using your favorite text editor.
The hex values for the "middle grey" (in this palette) is "B4B4B4".
By the way, I prefer the values to show as decimal values in the range 0 to 255 as they do in the Fill and Stroke dialog.
