In that place you can only edit the current palette. For to get a 
different palette do this:
In Draw or Impress use Format > Area
In Writer or Calc draw a dummy rectangle and choose Area from its 
context menu.
Then go to dialog page 'Colors'. You will see options to load and save 
palettes. LO comes with a lot of additional palettes. The most useful 
ones are "HTML", which contains some light colors and "scribus" which 
has compatible colors to "Scribus" and is the largest palette.

The standard color palette has got some more colors recently. If you 
want those in an older LO version it is enough to copy the file 
'standard.soc'.

Loading other palettes is tedious. So if you will use those colors 
often, you should rename the file 'standard.soc' to e.g. 
'standard_orig.soc' and copy the file 'scribus.soc' to 'standard.soc'.

The color files are located in the user directory in the folder 
'Config'. The file name extension is .soc. It is a pure XML-format, that 
means, it is human readable.

If you have "damaged" such file and will restore the original one, you 
can copy it from the installation directory, folder "presets".

Kind regards
