[kde-artists] Sane pseudo random colors for charts, continued

[Jarosław Staniek]

Hello

Remember my previous post on the topic?
[1] http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=119029143128188&w=2

OpenOffice.org has something like this
[2] http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOoChart_colors_drafts.html

There's idea to agree with oo.org (and maybe also GNOME) to have the same 
default set of colors for chart-like visual entities. This would definitely 
help to have the same user-experience across quite a few OSes and kde/non-kde 
applications. Namely, the documents would look the same, what's a valuable 
factor in ODF era.

I do not mention with 'accessible' mode enabled - like Olaf mentioned, in this 
case defaults change to address accessibility guidelines.

The easiest path is to pick whatever oo.org offers and thus skipping the whole 
process of choosing the color of the bikeshed...
Most of the proposals in [2] are nice to me.

As the color set could find its way to kdelibs 4.1 API, the early adopter of 
the set could be KOffice itself. Then the set could be used in KDE 4.1's apps 
like ksysguard, filelight, dolphin/konqueror...
