Could someone with graphic design background explain why colors that are equally spaced on the color wheel would look like "part of a family" any more than erratically spaced colors? I think the old colors were far more attractive.
Bummer.
The old, chromatically clustered colors staked out thematic areas of the color wheel, and by not using the whole thing, retained some degree of ownable identity. The CS6 color palette barely even qualifies as a palette.
