Ignore the name and keep the concept in mind, then you see the
benefit: quick way to swap 2 working colours, like keeping a pair of
loaded paintbrushes in the hand to perform shading. Of course, a
colour watch can be used, but then you have to add more keybindings
(the more colours, the more keys for direct access or the slower with
next/prev ops) or spend time traveling to select with the pointer.

If you are proposing a change beyond names, please consider that.
Adding some extras, speeding up other things, fine; but think you
could be slowing down current workflows without providing an equal or
faster solution.
