Aah, this gives me a fuzzy warm feeling inside :) Since scribus has the notion of a color shade, it may make sense to eliminate the shaded openoffice colors such as green 3 from the list.
At some (perhaps not so distant) point in the future, scribus may support also patterns as fills for shapes, in addtion to colors and gradients. There is a lot of black and white printing which needs those. Then it may be interesting to look at http://structure.harvard.edu/~plesch/map%20patterns/index.htm which provides a nice collection of such fill patterns. Last, I could export to DXF well just using the eps export and pstoedit. pstoedit has a few more conversion formats. all the best, Andreas
