I agree with you, Jesper;
           manual after manual these computer guys have used convoluted
language which makes it next to impossible to understand what's what - I
gave up years ago reading these manuals learning instead by sitting down,
opening up whatever program & checking all those menu options along the top.

In the UI: svx/source/dialog.po there are some colors to be translated:
Tango green, Tango red and others with Tango in the name. What is the
significance of the word Tango? Is it part of the color name or is it
software or something else?

What colors are Sunburst, Brownie, Sunset and Clay?

I have searched the web for these colors. They are not in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors. Any clues?

Tango scheme.

Why not look on those in the LibO itself? These are artist descriptive names anyway.

Hi :slight_smile:
They sound like themes or collections of colours rather than individual
colours. Kinda "dumbing things down" to make it easier for 'normal user'
to understand.

If you look at a "sunset" there is usual a huge range of different shades
of several different colours. So i think the "sunset" theme is trying to
evoke the general feeling of a sunset by using a range of colours that you
might associate with sunsets. I'd be expecting lots of reds, yellows,
maybe orange, purples. With Brownie i'd expect earthy colours, like Ubuntu
themes - so there would be some overlap with sunset. With clay i'd think
of greys tending towards earthy colours but none of the fiery colours. I
think it's just to give 'normal users' an idea of what kind of colours to
expecting and to have an idea of what the designers were aiming for.

They are not colors, but color gradients. You can see them if you e.g. draw a rectangle, choose Area in context menu of the rectangle and go to the Gradient tab.

Thanks to those who replied. I take it that Tango is part of the name of
a set of colors, and the others are color gradients.
