The new Area dialog has a button to "Add" a color. Such colors are added 
to the palette "custom". You cannot add a color to any of the other 
palettes, even if you have writing rights form your OS.

Then they are remnants from older LibreOffice versions. You cannot 
create new ones from an current LibreOffice version and you cannot add 
colors to them.

In a current LibreOffice user defined colors are no longer stored in 
*.soc palettes, but they are listed in the registrymodifications.xcu

That is, was I called "common" palettes. They can be used by several 
users, but no user can alter them from inside LibreOffice.

Of cause you can add a lot of own defined *.soc files, but you have to 
generate them outside of LibreOffice.

In addition, in all these discussion about color palettes you have to 
keep in mind, that the names, you give to the colors are irrelevant for 
the document. They are not stored in the document. So if you give the 
document to someone else, what you call "DeepPink" might be called 
"Fuchsia" for him (in case the color is under this name in his current 
palette), or he will only see the numbers (in case there is no match).

Kind regards
Regina
