Bug Description

This is not a bug and more a feature request.

Sometimes it is senseful to change the layer colors to get more contrast to see or show something.

The last colors seems to be saved global immediately - what is senseful in most of the cases.

But when you change some more colors you cannot set them back to the original colors.
How can i do this?

Perfect would be an additional context option "reset colors".

There is no name for the actual color and the darker colors are heavy to differ by eye.
It would be nice when the name of the actual color is shown in the window to choose the color.

In the list of colors are many dark colors that give a bad contrast.
Is it possible to modify the colors?

Thanks a lot

the ability to reset colors definitely deserves a more serious bug status, since it can allow colors to be changed globally, causing some elements to become unreadable or unusable.
