Enable picking among several colours

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's great that you can select a custom colour for your text and
background, but in order to categorize items together it would be good to
quickly being able to pick among several predefined colours.

When you click a colour icon, you should get a list of several predefined
colours to pick from, with a "custom colour" button that would open the
colour picker we have now.

That way it would be easier to give a thought the same colour we had given
another before.

• Added labels: Type-Enhancement

This won't happen too soon, since we have to redo the color buttons.

This is mostly attributed to the inflexibility of gtk. There _is_ a color 
selection
which displays palettes, but it can't be controlled from a color selection 
dialog and
hence not from a color button.
