That's feasible from the start or for small CS, but something like the DCS is way too big to accurately map thousands of hexes.

@Drex , I support you in there. For me, a colour scheme doesn't need Hex values, to be honest. They do no harm either, but I don't need them for paint.net
The way the scheme was done simply doesn't allow me to place hex in the colours or next to them. Isn't there a tool to convert a colour to Hex or viceversa?
One would rather read hex codes off a list than download the file, open it up, use the colour picker, and switch files to put it on a map. Just saying on the behalf of all of the slightly lazy people in the community of the Interwebs.

As someone who is super lazy, that sounds way easier than inputting every hex code you might need.
Why do that when, right as you need it, have the tabs side-by-side and read off a sheet?
I do just that - use the colour picker for every colour. If you desperately want a colour scheme as detailed as this, but with hex codes, you can of course create one or collaborate with @Ashtagon or @Skallagrim on such an effort.
Thank you, but those options were already clearly on the table.

Because to read them, I would still need to open the sheet [That or memorize all the Hex codes I need]. If I'm opening the sheet, I might as well open it in Paint.net and use their match tool
Do I need to come out of scheme-making retirement to work on X3?
.To be honest, I've considered it, but I'm not sure I'd be bringing something new to the table at this point. X2 and its descendants opened up the idea that a colour scheme palette image doesn't need to be limited to the physical screen resolution, making for a radical departure from TACOS. X2's palette is intentionally limited in a specific way, and obviously that makes it far smaller than the current crop of schemes. It also introduced the five-shades model, and more importantly in my opinion, a consistent standard (yes! we actually have a standard that has been applied and repeated!) across colour schemes for how the shades of the base colour should be derived. I guess I could just go ahead and reformat DCS/Toast3r (the two main successor schemes) into X2 format, and call the expanded palette X3. But that would feel a bit too much like plagiarism for my tastes.

Two suggestions; a secondary Cossack state for the Don Republic and a secondary Azerbaijan for the Azerbaijan People's Government which was located in Iranian Azerbaijan
@damein fisher
There's already a Don based State colour at the bottom of the russia section, so couldn't that serve for the Don Republic, and couldn't Nakhchivan's (below Azerbaijan) or Southern Azerbaijan (in the Perisa section) serve for Azerbaijan People's Government?
