Thanks, nice to have some well organised colours to inspire us
The problem with this and any large palettes is the color line. It makes it really hard to see more than a handful of colors at one time.
Maybe someday the color line will be a docking menu that can be floated and display all the colors in one rectangular menu.

If your favorite color was overlooked and you want to add it to the .pal file:
Find the CMYK values for the colour in percent values. You can do this by setting Color Units to Percent Utilities menu > Options Units tab.
Obtain the hex triplet value for the colour. Those were the most accurate values in the web sources I found. The RGB and HSV values would produce different colours compared to the hex values; when testing in Xara, CorelDraw, and Photoshop.
Enter the hex triplet value into the Color Editor in RGB or HSV mode, then switch the CMYK to get the values for your colour.
Open the Color_Names.pal file using a plain text editor like Notepad or your favorite editor. Notetab Pro and Notepad 2 are very good and provide current line number and column location of the cursor.
The information for each colour must be on one line of text.
Enter the colour name. It must have the " before and after the name.
Enter a space then Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black values in their respective columns. Each colour value must fill the 3 columns assigned for it. Use leading spaces where appropriate to fill all three columns. A space is required between each colours value.
See attachments for visual.

Thank you, Bill. Your hard work and "always giving" attitude is appreciated.
(I think I once had a dream about the Hex Triplets, but they looked nothing like the ones you display above!)

Thanks Bob.
I had a dream about triplets once myself.

Gary I only add the colours for the current document in the colour line.
As you point out too many colours can make it difficult to find the one you want.
Select an object then find the colour in the gallery. Click the colour then the Apply button. The colour is added to the color line. When you have your project colours added you can close the Gallery then simply click the colour on your colour line as usual.
