Questions, re: dynamic color Palette that is high contrast and visually appealing

We're building a web application that allows coparents to keep a shared calendar.  If a parent is responsible for an "overnight", the calendar is coded with their color.  Caregivers such as Nanny's and grandparent's can also have an overnight.
Colors are dynamically assigned from a palette (can be customized afterwards).  We started with a palette that had a lot of "distance" between each successive color so that it would be easy to distinguish, but...it looks terrible.
Any ideas on how to create a palette that will be visually appealing but that will also allow adjacent days to be easily distinguished?

  • Custom color-palette keeps becoming read-only and will not let me add new swatches

    I need to make a custom colour palette for work that i can open on different adobe programs, share with others and add new swatches to as I go. I create a custom palette, save it a custom name but whenever I re-open it, it has become a read-only palette and I can no longer add custom swatches to it. How do I get around this problem if I need to keep adding colours to my custom palettes?
    Thanks

    In case you need to keep swatches from the ASE:
    create a new document
    empty the swatches panel
    add all the swatches from the ASE into that document's swatches panel
    add new colors as swatches
    from the swatches panel's menu select "save library"
    Also see the manual on creating swatches.

  • Why Are there question marks in my dock that says iphoto, imovie and imovie hd after resetting my dock?

    My iBook G4 used to belong to my mums friend. After having it and using it for 2 years, I did a dock reset.  Now There are question marks saying iphoto, imovie and imovie hd.  I don't have the installation disk with me so how do I get these apps back?

    Do you know which versions they were? Sometimes they came on an iLife disc; sometimes on an Applications disc or Restore disc with the original software package that came with the iBook when it was new.
    Doing a Dock reset would not have removed these applications from the Applications folder.
    If they are no longer in the Applications folder, you will have to reinstall them from a disc.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:

  • Custom Composed Look not appearing in Change the Look with custom color palette

    Hi,
    I created custom color palette, (which was a copy of one of the out of the box ones) and uploaded it to the Themes folder under a different name. I then went to the Composed Looks and created a new Composed Look(using the New
    Items), which the seattle master page, and the new color palette that I created. 
    When I go to Change a Look, the new Composed Look does not appear as part of the options.
    When I change the color palette of the Composed Look, to one of the out of the box ones, I see it I the Change a Look page.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    I would check two things. First, did you check in the spcolor file you created? Second, I would review all of the properties of your composed look found in "/_catalogs/design/AllItems.aspx". You might want to copy and paste all properties (except
    title and name) and see if your new composed look shows up in "Change the look". Then link to your own custom spcolor file.

  • Plugin for a sort of color palette

    Hello everybody,
    is there a plugin or a feature in Photoshop CS6 I haven't discovered yet that offers me a sort of color palette that looks like the 'Color' feature in the 'Window' menu in Adobe Illustrator CC 2014? The palette offered by the plugin should deliver the colors contained in the currently opened picture.
    In Gimp e.g. there's a feature in the colors menu that delivers a gradient of all the colors contained in the image.
    Thank you very much.

    the only way I know how to do it is:
    1. convert your image to indexed color. (Image/Mode/Indexed Color...) .. hit ok if it asks you to flatten all layers, then hit ok again. By default this will break your image down into 256 colors.
    2. go to Image/Mode/Color Table... and in the pop-up window, click 'save...' and then just type in a new name for the file it is asking you to save. Do not type an extension after your filename. And remember where you're saving the file. Now you're back to the previous pop-up window (the color table window)- just hit ok to get out of it
    3. in your swatches panel, choose 'replace swatches' - if it asks you to save your current swatches, you can do so before proceeding. Then, browse to the folder where you saved the file. At the bottom of the "load" window where it says "Files of Type:" at the bottom, it says "Swatches (*ACO) by default. Click on that, and it drops another menu down, Select "COLOR TABLE (*ACT) instead. Now, the file you saved will show up. Click on that file to load it into your swatches.
    4. hit "step back" or undo a few times until you get your image back into RGB mode (or whatever mode you were in before Indexed mode).
    And now your swatches panel will contain every color in your image as a swatch, up to 256 colors. This won't work for millions of colors because obviously how could you have a swatch panel with 16 million colors..
    this is a painful, long workaround... but it does what I think you're asking for. Maybe you can find a way to automate it via scripting or something

  • Exporting custom color palettes

    When I create a Pages 5 template for a client, how can I also send them the custom color palette that I created? Thank you!

    Since the Custom Colors (I assume you named them in your pallette) are part of Apple's Color Picker, you would have to go via a complicated all or nothing salvaging/replacing of Color Picker's plist.
    A more practical approach is to create an extra blank page in your template which contains resources. One of which would be labeled color swatches.
    Your client can add the colors to their Color Picker palette by using the eyedropper in the Color Palette (3rd icon from left). You will get the colors accurately but not their names.
    Apple has never thought this through, as Named Color swatches & Palettes would allow consistent use of colors and color modes across Macs.

  • Color Palette custom color deployment

    Hello,
    I'm using Forms 9.0.4. I created a custom color called 'tooltext' in the default color palette. Then I created a Visual Attribute called TOOLTIP_VA that used 'tooltext' as its background. Finally I set the Visual Attribute for some of my Tooltips to TOOLTIP_VA.
    Now when I run this in Forms Builder the tooltip colors come up OK. I transferred my FMB file to the Linux formserver and compiled it there to FMX. When I run this form it works too. So I was assuming that somehow the RGB for my custom color is encoded in the FMB file. Is that right?
    I acually expected this not to work (I didn't expect the RGB to be stored in the FMB). Curiously enough when I convert the FMB to XML the RGB for 'tooltext' is NOT in the XML file. However the string 'tooltext' is in the XML file. What's up with that? Does the FMB have the actual RGB values for 'tooltext'? If not, how is it getting the color correctly when I deploy to the forms server? I'm not deploying any PAL file, just the FMB.

    Forms .fmb files contain a color pallette. If you create a new form, and put nothing in it, then save it, it will be at least 32k. If you edit it with a generic text editor, you will see lots of sequences of rgb numbers.
    It is pretty strange that Forms stores the color palette -- completely unnecessary, I would think. Seems like they could just store the rgb sequence of your custom color rather than store the whole palette. I wish they would remove the color palette from the fmb, because there are other bugs related to colors caused by the reliance of a color pallette.

  • Windows 8/Firefox 19/Dell Laptop Any way to decouple High contrast from my color settings?

    I find the following note on Firefox help pages:
    "Firefox automatically detects if you are using a High Contrast theme and displays everything in your high contrast color scheme. This overrides all other other browser or web page settings, and it affects the Firefox interface itself (all menus, windows, and dialog boxes) and the content of any web page you visit."
    Is there any way of decoupling this behavior? It makes some of the web pages I read unusable. The fact is, Win8 seems much worse than Win7 in allowing the user to have flexibility in their color selections. For my color blindness, I cannot seem to find a workable standard color scheme. The high contrast is no great shakes, but is the best of the lot. The coupling of FF display to high contrast seems particularly odd since FF seems to have all the tools necessary to allow a user to configure their pages that way anyway.
    Any pointers people can provide would be great - even pointers on how to get to Win7 style color personalizations which I cannot find - largely because I cannot read the screen easily!
    Thanks.

  • How do I make Firefox ignore the "Use High Contrast" option in Windows?

    I am taking care of a Windows XP machine which is running in "High Contrast Mode" for accessibility reasons. This display mode is enabled via the Control Panel of Windows (Accessibility Options, Display, Use High Contrast) and it has major impact on how Firefox display web pages. What I want to do is make Firefox ''ignore'' this operating system option, so web pages will be rendered "normally", but keep Windows in High Contrast Mode.
    Is there any way I can make Firefox ignore this setting? I.e. run Windows in High Contrast Mode, but not Firefox?
    A similar questions has been discussed here:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Website%20colors%20are%20wrong
    However, I don't want to disable High Contrast for Windows and the whole machine, just for Firefox.
    Thanks in advance

    John,
    thanks for your comments. The computer is mainly used by a visually impaired person. She doesn't do much web surfing though and doesn't really need a high contrast web browser. If however a colleague wants to help her maintain the machine or quickly wants to look up something on the web for her, then it would be great if it was possible to access web pages "unfiltered", in their regular look and feel, as designed by the web author. In fact, the High Contrast Mode significantly changes the way web pages look, and sometimes screen elements needed for navigation etc. are suppressed or rendered invisible. (This, of course, is often related to poor web design, like graphical buttons or links with the actual label as a background image or without an ALT attribute, but unfortunately, vast parts of the web are not really "accessible", so accessibility will remain an issue for the browser as well.)
    Creating a separate user account certainly is an option, especially for shared machines, but it makes it more complicated to quickly jump in and give her a hand. That's why separate user accounts are not really popular here; instead, Opera was installed which does not adhere to the OS setting and therefore grants a neutral view to all web pages.
    Actually, when I started investigating on that issue, I was quite surprised that there was no option for this in Firefox, not even in "about:config". After all, Firefox obviously queries the OS for the Contrast setting and then chooses to render the page this or that way, so I thought they certainly implemented a flag or something to change the behavior. It seems however there is no such flag, is there? This distinction seems to be entirely hard-wired.
    I am not sure if this is the place for change requests, but if somebody stumbles upon this question, is there any chance to make this setting open to the public? Something like an option "accessibility.useoscontrastsetting" or so? This might also facilitate it to develop an add-on for on-demand switching between the two modes, and web designers could check more easily how their work looks for those with poor eyesight.
    Greetings,

  • Can't find high contrast setting

    I believe 1.8 preview 2 has a high contrast setting. I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone point me to it? I need to get white text on black.
    Thanks

    If you want to call it a "night reading mode", sure.
    Basically, all I'd be requesting is "Provide high-contrast mode via menu toggle as well as Windows UI hints." This would ideally create the side-effect that it could be disabled by those who normally use high-contrast mode for their apps, but may actually prefer to not use ADE in high-contrast mode.
    This is one of those cases where defaults are unlikely to suit everyone and a toggleable would be useful. (On by default if the OS is configured for "high contrast" and off otherwise.)

  • High contrast when viewing a slideshow

    When I look at a photo in full screen mode, it is fine, but as soon as I click on the slideshow, the contrast changes and the pictures all appear in very high contrast, and they look horrible. Does anyone have any idea why this is, and how to fix it? Does anyone else suffer from this problem? This is on a 24" iMac.

    Start with this basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Dynamic shape colors: color palette?

    I am having a hard time finding guidance for this and am hoping someone can point me to the right guidance.
    I have a number of visio files, all of them visual representations of workflows.  I have color-coded each, but if I want to change colors systematically (ie: hey, I want all of those things that are coded blue to be coded red instead) I currently would
    have to go to each file and re-color all of the shapes.  Obviously a poor solution.
    Is there a way to define a color palette, tell visio to use that palette for various shapes, then allow for dynamic changes to that palette that would be reflected in the visio shapes?
    I have explored Data Graphics and assigning color by shape value, but those colors are hard-wired.
    Thanks for any ideas!

  • Cannot make changes that stay to color palette for an Apple shape

    I really hope someone can help me. This seems like it should be simple so clearly i am doing something wrong. On my menu, I have used an Apple shape (line highlight 64x4) as a button. The problem is that I cannot change the color of the button to the pantone I need. I have gone into the color tab and hit "edit palette" and then opened colors, gotten the color I want and am dragging it to the color option bars, and it goes into one of the boxes, replacing one of the existing colors. But when I go to select the color as my active highlight, it's not there. Can someone please help?

    I continually have this same problem and have never found an answer that resolves it once and for all. I had this problem on my last computer and am encountering it again even after completely reinstalling windows along with office.I
    I have three IMAP email accounts but only one of them, the largest by far, has this issue. I also have a Google Calendar which is synchronized with my outlook calendar using a tool called Sync2 from 4Team. I asked them about this problem and they say they
    never heard of it.
    I have looked several times for a solution to this issue but like in this post there is never a solution provided.
    The other pertinent information is first that I am the only user of this computer, there is only one account defined in Windows and I have administrative rights to it.   Second, the problem comes and goes. I may be locked out of deleting emails
    for a few hours and then all of a sudden Outlook will load a bunch of new emails and allow me to work my inbox. Other times I may not see this problem for a few days and then suddenly it is back again.  Rebooting does not correct the issue nor does just
    restarting Outlook.
    Does anyone know what causes this problem and how to resolve it?
    Thank you,
    Matt
