Yes.

My recommendation is to keep the number of colours under 5,000.  Whilst
LibreOffice will load when the colour palette contains every colour
betωeen 000000 and FFFFFF, system performance is the absolute pits.

No.

The biggest issue to watch for, is that the format is precisely
followed.    A missing  « > », or, more commonly, a missing «"», can
cause all sorts of problems.

The second issue is that one or two previous versions of LibO and AOO)
have either cut the palette off, or replaced with the one that it ships
with.   When taht happens, you need to play with the data in the first
line of the file, and figure what your soc has, that the default does
not have, and what the default, that is not in your soc.

 displaying the color choices?

When somebody else edits the ODF file, if they don't have the some
colour palette installed, the colour is listed as "user".
