Colors of any style shouldn't be shown in the document colors palette until the user has assigned a style with color to a text/object. I think that behavior wasn't tested when implementing the new color widget because default styles have no color until now. Steps: 1) Open a new Writer document 2) Open the font color picker widget in the toolbar 3) Switch to document colors palette 4) Recognize that there is no color listed - close the widget 5) Right-click in the Writer page and select Edit style (no content should be written of this style!) 6) Change the font or background color to a color of your choice 7) Close the style dialog 8) Open the font color picker widget again 9) Switch to document colors palette Actual: The style's color is shown. Expected: As long as there is no content assigned with the style that has a color, no color should be shown in the document colors palette. Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+
I would disagree, as i would expect the colors defined at the style level to appear in document colors. For example, if i opened a template which had various colors used in various styles, i would want to be able to see what colors are defined, even if the document is empty, so that i could utilize them.

(In reply to Yousuf Philips (jay) from comment #1) >...For example, if i opened a template which had various colors used... That was my first idea too. To change the style color is also a conscious interaction and users may wonder why it has no bearing on the document colors if we turn this around. -> WONTFIX
Lets close this then. Cor, Stuart: If you guys disagree, please reopen.
