To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".

Definitely also think this is a must. At least give a way of opening the
customize colors other than just through the Options dialog. It should
preferably be something like a "More..." option in the drop-down (similar to
what users expect from other programs).

The other ideas are also quite nice (e.g. color picker as eye-drop cursor for
choosing a colour from the screen). As for different methods of defining
colours, the current (OOo 3.2.1) only provides RGB / CMYK in the options dialog.
And then of course (as per issue 18674) the CMYK is more of a joke than
something useful.

And for a "layman" user to choose a colour using only RGB/CMYK is just silly!
That's the way extremely experienced painters would mix their paints to produce
a specific colour. Most people understand colour in the shape of HSL: i.e. The
Hue (Red / Orange / Yellow / Green / Blue / Purple / Magenta) which is the
direction on a colour wheel, then the Saturation (how washed out or rich it
appears), and then the Luminance (brightness / darkness). Fortunately converting
from HSL to-and-from RGB is a lot simpler than the noted CMYK problem, and it
produces a lot more consistent results. So I can't see why this shouldn't at
least be available as one of the colour creation methods.
