Expanding the number of rows doesnt solve the primary problem with the color
palette, which is that there are two many colors in it. Most users need a small
range of colors to choose from and now that we have the color picker dialog
available in the drop down, those that want to choose an exact color now have
easy access to doing so.

I believe the current layout of 12 columns is fine, as all three of the
suggestions fit it.

We have a libreoffice.soc and i would have assumed it does cover any colors
related to the branding.

Seems interesting and it would be great for Wade to fill in the upper rows so
it could be put into an .soc file so it could be tried.
