Yes, it will be useful to show the actual resulting color from "automatic",
because no one knows what will be the "automatic" color. Most people (not power
users like us) will just select the black color instead of "automatic", because
either they do not realize that "Automatic" is a button, or they do not realize
that it is a button that corresponds to a color, or they don't know what the
"Automatic" color is. So, they just click on the black color. So, why not to
facilitate the user's lives, showing the actual color along with the
"Automatic" label?

And I agree that the resulting color from "automatic" should be seen also on
the toolbar button -- but not only there. If you select, for example, the red
color, it will show on the toolbar. Would this be a reason to hide the red
color from inside the palette? The red color will show both in the palette and
on the toolbar. Thus it has to be with the Automatic color.
