Hi Viktor, This is one of the mysteries of the universe, probably a legacy from the selfish behavior of companies. Meanwhile, it is possible to go to freieFarbe's website and download a zip file of swatches you can use in Scribus. There is one in XML for 1.4.x, and another in SBZ for 1.5.x: https://www.freiefarbe.de/en/thema-farbe/software/ Go down to the Open Colour Systems Collection files. After unzipping, copy the color systems you want to the swatches folder in Scribus. (In total there are 378 of them) Greg
