Re: Proposal: VisualArtwork

Rather than being specific to VisualArtwork I'd suggest you amend your 
proposal so that ColorPalette be a property of Thing to give the 
opportunity for people to describe the colours of things beyond visual 
artwork.

I can't see the ColorPalette property being used by museums, galleries, 
or artists, because the colours in any painting or piece of artwork vary 
depending on how light is falling on a picture/object, and the colour 
temperature of the ambient light - they're not inherent values of a 
piece of artwork (apart from in digital artwork). That said, I can see 
that there could be a use for this outside the realms of fine art.
