In Extras/Options/Colors a color palette may be opened. Its colors (top part) and its name are shown after the open dialog is closed. But the setting is not remembered (selecting again Extras/Options/Colors shows the standfard palette) nor can it be used in Writer, Cals, ... The only place where it works seems to be Format/Area in Draw. But why then the posdsibility to load a palette in the general options ?
Thanks for filing the issue Helmut. I confirm the problem.

The color handling has changed completely. Palettes are not managed anymore per Tools > Options > Color.
