I am pleased to announce the release of color-tools 1.1.0. With this
release, I have added the ability to read GIMP colour palette definition
files for quick access to named definitions. When there are collisions
between names, none of the colour definitions for that name will be
retained.
You can download color-tools from RubyForge at:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=81
or install it as a RubyGem.
= color-tools README
color-tools is a Ruby library to provide RGB and CMYK colour support to
applications that require it. It provides 148 named RGB colours that are
commonly supported and used in HTML, colour manipulation operations, and
a monochromatic contrasting palette generator. With version 1.1, the
ability to read and use GIMP colour palette definition files has been
added.

SlayerOffice[2] and by Patrick Fitzgerald of BarelyFitz[3] in PHP.
