Current color pallet when pussing the text color toolbarbutton

The toolbar text color dialog doesn't (clearly) show which color is currently
used in the text where the cursor is. If it would, it would be easier to look
up the color and thereafther apply it to other objects (drawing objects, text.)

In more detail...
When for example selecting text, the color on the text color button changes to
the color of the selected text (that's fine) (i.e.: purple.) When pushing the
text color toolbar button the available colors are shown in a color
pallet(that's fine too.) Yet at this point it is still unclear which exact
color is used for the selected text (i.e. dark purple or very dark purple.) In
the color pallet there is no indicator which color is used (for the selected
text.) Although the toolbar button shows the color, it is not clear which color
in the pallet this corresponds to. So it is difficult to find the correct color
in the color pallet.

Suggestion:
Let the color of the selected text stand out in the color pallet (of the text
color toolbar button.) For example, draw a line around that color in the
pallet.

The same should go for:
- the other libreoffice components (impress, etc.)
- the background color button pallet (i.e. in writer.)
- if no text is selected, show the color of the text surrounding the cursor.

This would make working with colors more intuitive.
