In general I agree with this direction of emphasizing the integral role of
styles.

One possible solution here is treating user-created styles differently than
default styles.

No matter how the developers eventually decide, the annoyance is real: the
users who use document colors a lot but seldomly uses styles will have to deal
with 12 (IMHO not really "few") colors he/she wants to having nothing to do
with.  And there is no way he/she can delete the default styles he/she doesn't
use to get rid of these colors.

I personally have deviated away from directly applying colors and started using
styles more since I reported the duplicate bug 128325.  So this bug doesn't
affect me that much anymore.  But the question is, do we want to accommodate
such less-than-ideal habits?  From the recent addition of "autofilter by text
or cell colors" feature in 7.2, I would think the answer is yes.

P.S.: Just curious -- implementation work aside, would you support the idea of
showing colors used by Writer's default character styles in document colors as
well, Mike?
