Might -> probably. Converting colors to 15 color palette leads to color change in most of the case.
+ Solution #1b: Use shading
- not intuitive for MSO users (paragraph > theme colors),
in particular on round trip
The problem here is when a user actually opens an MSO format in MSO and tries to change the color and can't found the proper tool for that.
- default for the export until 5.0 but replaced with highlighting then
(tools > options > load/save > char highlighting)
That is not entirely correct. Before
my related change DOC / DOCX export used MSO shading, RTF export used MSO highlighting. So there was a mixed usage of both.

- improve help
- patch has been submitted by Tamaz (c26)
+ Solution #2: Introduce shading in LibO
- unclear use case besides compatibility, confuses users (c34)
- could extend the palette widget (c45,46)
It's a very bad idea, mentioned by a random user, who can't see that LibreOffice is not only a free clone of Microsoft Office.
+ Solution #3: Special palette activated per compatibility flag
- another patch by Tamaz (c21)
It's not correct. You mixed here two suggestions. I added an MSO highlight color palette, so the user can use those colors which are exported to MSO highlight correctly.
There was another suggestion to display both highlight and shading palette in LO, which might be implemented only related to an MSO compatibility flag, since LO doesn't have two separate character background implementations and so it does not make sense to display this color palette for 'native' LO users.
- cripples LibreOffice while MSO may change at any time
- code needed as the new palette is offered now unconditionally
+ Solution #4: analyze the document and warn the user when using a not
supported feature (if the file was opened as doc/x) or when saving
- might be a long list and need some time to compile

In general, I changed two things recently.
I changed the default behavior to save to MSO shading instead. It seems a more serious issue to change the color on export, then the case when somebody can't edit the text color in MSO later, because of MSO bad design (e.g. duplicated text background feature)
I added an MSO highlight palette, which can be used to select MSO used highlight colors. I added it unconditionally because it's a known feature of LO that it tries to support MSO formats. As we do not hide MSO formats in the save dialog why we should hide the feature to support MSO highlight colors. I think it makes more sense to have an mso-highlight palette, then having one called with 'libreoffice' for example. We have the 'standard' color palette, then what 'libreoffice' means here and why it's limited to around 30 colors. And there are other very useful palettes like tonal, material, freecolour-hlc. Do anyone uses these? I mean normal users. I think it makes more sense to have an MSO compatible highlight palette here, then having the other mentioned above, because we know that there are lots of LO users having a problem with MSO compatibility. The default color palette is the 'standard', so adding a mso-highlight palette there, won't bother those users who are not interested, because they just not select that color palette.
But of course, everybody knows better how to solve this issue: the users, the QA team and the design team, without actually knowing the context.
