4231	Colorbrewer palettes not using correct default number of colors	Elaine Meng	Greg Couch	"Currently the documentation for using Colorbrewer palettes in ChimeraX says they have default numbers of colors.

That is, each palette has an initial name optionally followed by -N where the N is the number of colors to use.  If the ""-N"" part is omitted, then the default number of colors is used, and according to the documentation default N is:
6 for qualitative palettes
5 for sequential and diverging palettes

<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/palettes.html>

However, tests by me and Eric in the daily build show that when the -N is omitted, you always get the smallest possible version of each palette (3 colors).

This is highly reminiscent of the new colorname-parsing error that appeared since the 1.1 release, #4208."	defect	closed	moderate	1.2	Depiction		fixed		Tom Goddard Eric Pettersen				all	ChimeraX
