How-to: Add [Ubuntu and Canonical] Color Palette in Inkscape

To build consistency in design, we should use certain colors only. For example, the Ubuntu brand guidelines give specific design guide about web colour and Ubuntu colour palette. To simplify this color guidelines, I make a color palette, modified from the existing ones to be added in inkscape. Here is the result, compared to 'Ubuntu' color palette exist by default in inkscape (it is different with the original Ubuntu Colour palette). And the next is the how-to's step by step.
