Description
While working on my dAminimal style I felt the need for a dA palette to make my work easier, and not finding it I spent a couple of hours compiling one. These are all the (solid) colors I could find on the website, obviously gradients aren't included. The palette is hand-written and then ordered with the luminance method thanks to some bash magic*. Every color comment specifies where that particular color is used on dA's page.

Click 'download' to get it. To install it, open The Gimp, click on Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Palettes, right click on the palette list and choose Import palette. In the import window click Palette file and browse to the file you downloaded. Confirm, click Import and give it the name you want. It should now be on your palette list, ready for use.

* For the curious, that's the command I ran, where dA is the original palette and dA_ordered is the final result:

$ head -4 dA >dA_ordered ; while read line ; do Y=$(bc <<< $(echo $line | grep '^[0-9]' | cut -d\ -f1-3 | sed -e 's/^/0.299*/' -e 's/ /+0.587*/' -e 's/ /+0.114*/')) ; if [ "x$Y" != "x" ] ; then echo "${Y}|$line" ; fi ; done >dA_ordered
