--- Comment #12 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
I think I would prefer to remove the color name labeling across all the
controls--and then have consistent tooltip with the 'color name' (RGB, HLC,
tonal) as taken from the selected palette.

I don't see too much need for the label. We show the color swatch for selected
color, and can show the palette it came from. Likewise for gradient the swatch
is visible, and can identify the palette it is being taken from. 

IIRC the gradients used to be fixed, but now we can mix and match palettes.

What do we gain by shrinking the color swatch to add a textual label?

Simplify the 'Gradient' fill UI to match the 'Color' fills--remove the labels! 

But do provide the assigned color name/RGB value in tooltip.  That is replace
the "Fill color", "Fill gradient from", "Fill gradient to" tooltips with the
color name (or value).  

Obviously filter import of ODF document colors would only match color names
against 'standard' palette, palette in use is not recorded into the ODF.

And, this is just for labeling the color fills (Color, Gradient), the patterned
fills (Hatching, Bitmap, Pattern) make sense to have the labels.
