Some random comments on your and other mockups.

Proposal by Mirek2: Old and new color bar do not resemble buttons in any 
way. This makes it hard to guess if these are clickable or not. At first 
glance I'd say not. If these act as buttons, they suit well to the 
bottom of the dialog. The only part where covering it with hand (on 
tablet, Kévin's concern) is actually important, is the custom color tab. 
On other tabs you already see the color when you click. Also, you likely 
don't watch the "New color" but the document itself changing.

Proposal by Medieval:
Color picker icons are great. I would expect similar graphical pickers 
as well. Having color pipette is a superb idea as well.


Proposal by Issa:
This one is functionally close to what I like. Recent colors on the top 
is a good thing, easier to use and maybe helps in not using too many 
different colors.
Would benefit from bigger color boxes.


Proposal by me:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/7/7a/Color-picker-v2.png
We need both Automatic and None, otherwise using styles becomes a pain. 
As my mockup shows, these suit to the bottom together with old and new 
colors (either like that or usual toolbar-like icons).
It shows how selected color box is indicated by being bigger. Old and 
New color examples take the maximum space.
Opacity from recent and theme view should be dropped and be part of the 
color picker to be saved together with the color (If saving colors with 
opacity is technically possible.)



Right now I myself like "Tentative design" the most, but my ability to 
objectively compare it may be skewed because of the aesthetics.
IMO it needs these changes:
* Recent colors to the top
* Add None color to the Automatic and move these down to New / Old buttons
