Adobe Swatch Exchange files use wrong colors

Summary:

Been looking for some nice examples to demo the new 1.4 palette import feature in tomorrow's talk.

When trying it out, I found that the corresponding .gpl and .ase files from

http://www.freiefarbe.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/OCSC-_20.zip

look wildly different.

.ase files seem to have lots of reds/pinks that are all identical and most likely incorrect.

Steps to reproduce:

  • put a .gpl and a .ase file of the same name into you user preferences directory's subdirectory 'palettes'
  • rename the .gpl file (file name and palette name inside) to not cause any confusion
  • open Inkscape
  • compare the two new palettes

What happened?

The .ase palette looks horribly incorrect:

grafik

The .gpl palette for comparison:

grafik

What should have happened?

The .ase palette should be at least similar to the .gpl one.
