IDEA: Take out the names from the Area Style/Filling and Line Color tools. 
Present colours in table form, like in text color selection.

Rationale:
The colour shown on the screen itself tells me more about it than the name of 
the colour. Name is redundant. "Turquoise 1" is useless to me. A shade of 
turquoise on the screen does.

Benefits: Save screen estate, dispense with scrolling, easier to FIND and pick 
colors... even if the palette sorted the colours frustratingly illogically and 
unintuitively (e.g. why are Yellow and Brown so far from other shades of 
Yellow? It can be frustrating if you spend hours scrolling from Yellow 1 to 
Yellow 8 not finding the pure yellow). It will be particularly helpful if 
colours have been randomly placed all over a custom palette.

I repeat: It can be frustrating if you spend hours scrolling from Yellow 1 to 
Yellow 8 not finding the pure yellow. So don't let the user scroll. Give him a 
table. Thank you.
