Description Freespirit 2016-02-23 00:09:54 UTC 
When I pick a color there's a mouse-over-tag with the name, i.e. "grey 3".

When I move the mouse over "last used colors", there's no mouse-over-tag.

I think it would be helpful to know the exact name of the color even in "last used colors".

What do you think?

I confirm issue on LibO 5.0.4.2 under Win8.1 x64

I think this a valid enhancement request.

@Jay
is this something you can take care about?
Comment 2 tommy27 2016-02-23 06:27:05 UTC 
situation is even worse in 5.2.x where all mouse-over-tags are not available.
I opened a new report about this at Bug 98100

confirming this issue with lack of tool-tip annotation of color for patches appearing on the "Recent" colors collection

Can't confirm issue of comment 2 as the mouse over tool-tips appear in the color picker for recent builds of master.
Comment 5 Caolán McNamara 2016-08-30 20:26:02 UTC 
The recent colors are only stored as their hex numbers, without names, so the name info isn't there. Presumably we could add RecentColorNames to the config to go alongside it to store and use those names too.
