"GIMP provides top-notch color management features to ensure high-fidelity color reproduction across digital and printed media. It is best used in workflows involving other free software such as Scribus, Inkscape, and SwatchBooker."
source: https://www.gimp.org/


SwatchBooker reads and writes color swatches (color palettes) from and to all major open and closed source graphic programs and standards like 
Pantone CMYK (bridge/process guides only), sRGB, Lab, RAL sRGB... 

Requirements:
    Python
    PyQT4
    LittleCMS + bindings for Python
    Python Imaging Library (PIL) (for 0.8)
   
On upstream suggests for debian: 
    python-qt4 (>= 4.6) python-liblcms (>= 1.18) and python-imaging (>= 1.1.7-2)


"SwatchBooker has a very limited purpose: help the transition to free software by allowing users to access their proprietary palettes. It is a palette convertor."
