Hi.
There is a bit of a similar discussion regarding table background colours and helpful information from Regina here;

I'm using 5.4.1.2.0+ on a Debian/Buster AMD64 system.

I volunteer with several organizations, some of whom have standard colours that I would like to add to the LibreOffice colour palette. However the formerly available Tools | Options | Colors customization feature seems to have disappeared.

I noticed that the font colour chooser allows you to use custom colours but not add them to the palette. While usable, it's not a good solution when you are going to be using the same colours repeatedly.

After more googling, I eventually found a way of adding custom colours - by creating a shape then right-clicking on it and selecting area. This allows me to add colours to the custom palette (and apparently only the custom palette - even if I select a different palette, the new colour ends up in custom).

While this is sufficient for what I want to do, it seems rather arcane to bury this useful option in shapes when it clearly can be used for anything that has colour. To make matters worse, the font colour | custom colour dialogue allows you to define colours using RGB and CMYK values while the shape colour dialogue only allows RGB colours (but does allow you to save them).

I suggest that the developers should fix this duplication of effort by using only a single colour dialogue that combines the best features of both existing dialogues. They should also restore this to the Tools | Options menu.
