On second thought, added.
Yeah no. I don't think we need a different color for every Chinese dynasty.

A few much-needed expansions in Europe. Some credit to @Red Arturoist .
I'll give you my China and India patches later.
I quite like this! Thanks for incorporating a lot of my suggestions, and I agree that some colours might have been overkill (and/or that no colour change might be needed, e.g. for democratic Lithuania or democratic republican Germany). However, I think we do need a colour for a benevolent or modern absolute monarchy (like the one proposed for Absolutist Britain), as well as for a stratocracy in Europe (especially Germany).
EDIT: I also think my colours for fascist/white supremacist Britain and at least one of the far-left British colours could be very useful.
I think i'll, at least partially, continue using my expansion in addition to DCS...

The different Chinese dynasties are, of course, basically all a monarchist (united) China, but as long as such colours can double or triple for other situations, why not separate them?
EDIT: I could, for example, imagine lumping in "far-right/Han supremacist China" with "Han Dynasty", or "technocratic China" with "Song Dynasty".

The dynasties that unified China should definitely have their own color. Keep in mind there have been like 5 dynasties called Liang , 4-6 Yan's, and countless other states that exist hundreds of years a part from each other or begrudgingly exist next to one another at the same time, whereas the unifying dynasties (Han, Qin, Tang) define entire eras of chinese history
Guys, I'm not sure if that's the right place to ask, but what was/would be the national colours of Cape, Natal, Orange and Transvaal if they remained separated? The latter two at least have their flags to begin with, but Cape and Natal had only their blue ensign.
Traditionally, South African colours have been green and gold, but I don't know how that emerged. Would Cape had taken those colours instead? And Natal? Red, Blue or a random colour as the other Dominions took?

No, way before that. The few I found about it, it's probbly due their rugby team, dating way back to 1900. And it's not clear why the rugby team adopted the green and gold scheme.
I'd just use the "Generic Chinese dynasty" for every dynasty, except the Yuan and Qing.
On my part the scheme was finished with my last update, I do not intend to add anything else at least for now, if people want to add more colours and entries by themselves to their copies of the scheme, no problem with that.
That's lovely already!
If you have time, could you incorporate some of my suggestions on the expansion sheet, too? I like those on the left column (regarding Europe) the most, as well as some in the central column.
Thanks to everybody for the many expansions and proposals, and I am planning on proposing a few more colours. But far fewer than last time, I think.

Here is my proposal for the Turkey section - incorporating some of my earlier proposals and three of the four newest ones:
@erictom333 , are you still working on India and/or China revamps?
Also, @Entrerriano , @Drex , @qazse , @erictom333 , et al. - what would you think about opening a new, collaborative thread for expansions to DCS and/or a new scheme? I already have an idea for an acronym: CCCC or CCCCC
