You are right in that older documents will now have a light color where
they had a dark color before. But now not only 8 but all 16 basic html
colors will be supported, so the user can change the color name to
"teal" if he really wants the dark color. However older OpenOffice
versions don't know "teal" and will show a ?.
If the solution were obvious, I would not have brought it to the list.
Thanks for the very detailed explanation. This is surely material for
the next Release Notes. I didn't have time to follow this when you were
working on it, so please forgive me if I missed some details.
So (limiting this to Math for the moment) we will get 16 color choices
instead of 8, but some colors in older documents will now be rendered
differently due to the fact that we were writing colors in the file by
name, but we weren't respecting the name attributions in MathML (so we
used to write "red" for denoting a color that MathML did not call "red").
I agree with your proposals on how to handle the broken color mapping.
Is it feasible to switch to writing the RGB values to the file instead
of color names? Would this ensure less equivocal compatibility with the
standards and other suites? Would colors written this way be properly
remapped to their names when reopening the file? If I read correctly,
you said that this is what Calc does, and it looks much less error-prone.

This is important for the Release notes too. And would it be the same if
we write the color as RGB?

Andrea.
