Request for feature: new Color Picker

[hla]

Please upgrade (in a new version; when you have the chance) the currently available color picker to something "more modern" - with more colors available for selection without dabbling with the R, G, B color picker. Something like LibreOffice's color picker (the one that provides a dropdown that enables selecting between theme, html, etc, colors) and/or Word's Themes (ribbon Desing -> Themes | Colors | Fonts).

Thanks.

Thank you for your post, but did you try by clicking on “Define color” ? That's better than the mentioned one, I think.

Yes, thank you for the reply, but this color picker is "too much" in the sense that it takes too much time to pinpoint and define colors.

Having a set of colors that can be chosen from quickly is a better use case. It removes the need for me to think too much about colors but have them available as a differentiating tool when working the technical manuals: different colors for code blocks, XML blocks, JSON blocks, CLI commands to execute vs CLI responses etc.

I find it speeds up reading such docs because once one gets used to the colors, the brain can scroll through the doc just checking for colors to see if that's what is searched for, and then only actually focusing to see the text in such blocks after a "color match"...

I also don't have to fiddle with custom colors, manage templates (on more than one machine) etc when the colors are software provided.

Attaching screenshot of LibreOffice Writer's color picker as a sort of "reference":

We have this similar dialog box in our apps.

That “Define color” dialog is an advanced option provided.

I know about it, but both the default color set + the additional dialog scream 1995... Just my suggestion that it'd probably be better to have it look more modern and more easier to use with more colors available for 1-click selection. My 2 cents. Have a good day, bye.
