In Office tools, when you change the colour of a text or graphical element, you have a list of Recently used colours matching the last standard and custom colours.
It would be useful to add this feature in the background, text, and line colour selection (e.g. in the Layout style menus). This would especially be useful to quickly access recent custom colours.

I recall having seen such a thing in EA, but likely only in certain places and consistently inconsistent not in other ones...
(I have my hands on EA now only on occassion and don't have it at hand for verification)
