Hi Mirek, I have added another alternative approach for scrolling in the same page ( http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Color_Picker).
We can show hovering (or static) scroll buttons in the scrollable area. I have also suggested two more changes: 1. Making the "Automatic" color to span the width. 2. Highlighting the selected palette.
