--- Comment #1 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
@Mike, some considerations:

How did "ask.libreoffice.org" question encounter this command/help page?

(In L06.3 Calc)
1. F1
2. type "color" into Index search field
3. click on "defining -- colors" or "colors -- adding"
4. The URL you cited appears.

This guess may explain how the question arose.  But the appropriate response
may be more complicated.

Suggestion 1:  Probably these two links "defining -- colors" and "colors --
adding" should go to: 
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/shared/01/05210100.html

Suggestion 2:   This page seems like the "right" page / place for giving advice
defining colors.  (including a link to the Color picker page). 

It is possible that for some "custom color" means "select one of the
preexisting colors" -- which the Area tab should help explain (or give a link
to a relevant page).

But this advice is not there (and I could not find another help page that
discusses how to use the Color within Area.)  

+ (I can see that it is currently missing access for "Calc", which I can add,
and make them say "Background" instead of "Area")
+  And willing to add some commonly used access paths.  
  - Advice/suggestions on both points appreciated.

Suggestion 3.  
  Search on "custom color" in the Help Index.  
  Only "Draw" comes up, with the link to the Color Picker page.  
  Seems relevant to add bookmarks(?) for "custom colors" for the other modules.

Suggestion 4:  Modify the color picker page (01010501.html), to indicate that
the picker is accessed from the Area tab page (and link to the Area tab help,
05210100.html) (presupposes that the Color Picker dialog can only be accessed
from the Area tab.)  Gives a simple solution for showing all the different
access routes, without having to add them directly to the color picker page. 

Most of these points require input from more knowledgeable persons.
