Comment 5 for bug 171589

Macromedia Freehand includes a feature called "Colour
Tables" (Ctrl+U) which helps users manage colours for
target devices, be it different types of screens or printers
or other devices. It seems to provide some sort of
automatic colour management to restrict the colours used,
and possibly functionality to restrict the colours of an
existing image for certain uses. (sorry I cannot provide
more detail, I dont have a working copy of Freehand just
documentation.)

freehand also includes a color mixer:
Color Mixer panel to define colors, to adjust hue,
lightness, and saturation, and to select colors from the
System Color dialog box.

I would go on but Freehand includes a crapload of color
features. This isn't entirely surprising given how many
people would rather use a Vector graphics software and only
go to raster graphics as a last resort (see also macromedia
fireworks, it has some vector features which are better than
freehand. same applies to Microsoft Expression, ostensibly
a vector graphics program but they have rebranded it as a
raster graphics program but with lots of vector features).
Paintscape anyone?

Having said that being very specific about the features you
want should make things easier for developers, especially if
you can break things down into smaller more managable chunks.
