Hello,

When it comes to Visual Artwork, one of the main visual attributes for any artwork is its color composition. Even though the current schema for "Thing" has a color attribute, it is just a "text" type which cannot capture the rich color metadata about the artwork. So, I would like to propose a new property (say "ColorPalette") which captures all the dominant colors in the visual artwork in a palette form. The ColorPalette object could contain a list of colorSwatches. Each ColorSwatch can contain the following properties:
a. hex (Hex value) - Text
b. name (Name of the color) - Text
c. percentage (percent of the color in the image) - Text

The color palette information would be very useful to classify, categorize and index artwork by colors. I have provided an example of how this structure could look:

<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ColorPalette">
                <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ColorSwatch">
                                <span itemprop="hex">#3366FF</span>
                                <span itemprop="name">Sky Blue</span>
                                <span itemprop="percentage">30%</span>
                </div>
                <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ColorSwatch">
                                <span itemprop="hex">#F5B800</span>
                                <span itemprop="name">Gold</span>
                                <span itemprop="percentage">25%</span>
                </div>
                <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ColorSwatch">
                                <span itemprop="hex">#F5003D</span>
                                <span itemprop="name">Crimson Red</span>
                                <span itemprop="percentage">20%</span>
                </div>
                <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ColorSwatch">
                                <span itemprop="hex">#B8F500</span>
                                <span itemprop="name">Lime</span>
                                <span itemprop="percentage">15%</span>
                </div>
                <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ColorSwatch">
                                <span itemprop="hex">#F500B8</span>
                                <span itemprop="name">Fuschia</span>
                                <span itemprop="percentage">10%</span>
                </div>
</span>
