I don't recommend that approach. To see why, Ctrl-Right click on an
entity to bring up a context menu, then hover over stroke or fill: the
pop-up menu fills the screen with over 600 color choices. Attached is
a pared down list of about 30 common colors that I'm now using as my
defaults. (An alternative, of course, would be to wrap the color list
in a scrolling pop-up menu control, but that's a more complicated
patch.)

Thanks,
Chris
