I have an extensive style sheet of much-used formats in a text doc on my desktop, but it's still a copy-and-paste faff every time in the html editor. The "Select colour" button is so much swifter when it does offer the exact colour you want: two clicks = job done.

It seems to me a save-colour routine would be a logical next step after using the Picker to establish the desired HEX number.

I also use a lot of colors, and I keep a list of my color schemes in a plain text document for reference. I copy code snippets, like a span with colored text, or a div with a colored background. Then it's easy to copy and paste the HEX into the appropriate place (in the html editor, of course).

Yes, the new choice is saved momentarily as the default colour, but it is lost the moment you select any other colour (I use <span> commands quite frequently). So the next time you need the custom colour, you have to click through the dropdown options and re-enter the HEX code.

If it isn't currently possible to save a chosen colour, as described, is it possible to put in a request for a save routine to be added to the text colour tool, please?
