Because Kiatra was asking about dark/navy blue, deep red and deep purple, I've decided to share my colour/numbering system.
This is what I use on the main pallette, numbers going left to right, 1 to 255. Some of the colours may look a bit 'off' depending on your graphics/screen settings and which interface colour you are using, but so far I've had no complaints from my customers

Sorry, there is a typo in my list. Dk Purple should be 168. Sorry about that.

I realise this was directed at Kiatra, but I'd like to share the method of labeling I've come up with and get some feedback.
The main problem I wanted to overcome was my expanding color palettes, because at the moment I'm only Novice. I wanted the clothes I make and label now to still work with later, larger palettes. This is what I came up with, for the simple 255 color palette:
Each color is represented in 7 different shades. Each 7 shade segment is assigned a number by counting off the segments left to right, and the colors within those segments are 1-7, with 7 being the darkest. So for example, two shades darker than the darkest in the "maroon" segnent would be 2-5. The extra colors get added on at the end of the list, so any labels I make now still apply to the later palettes. I haven't come up with anything for the additional palettes, but I think the same thing will work, maybe with a bit of modification. The single colors (purple, red and orange) will be something like S1, S2 and S3, but thats a long ways off for me.
Comments? Questions? Criticism?
This is also my first post in the tailor forum, so hi everyone!

I recently mastered tailor on my alt. I just wish the pallettes were presented in a more organized manner. For instanceI've run across the full pallette in 2 different versions. It's been very confusing/frustrating trying to come up with a labeling system that allows people to match their clothes. I would rather only view 1 pallette, and have the colors that can't be used for specific itemsdarkened. (Kind of like how id's that can't change colors yet can still view them.)
