Tomaž, please review attachment 101316 -- what I've done here is provided
placeholders in our 12 column swatch picker that retains the hue based columnar
layout of the source color table.

Each column shows a single color hue in increasing graytone (e.g. reduced
black) scale.

While the row based alignment might have been more complete (keeping the
graytone scale values aligned with the corresponding color values, it required
a lot more "place holders" and wasn't the best UX, nor visually appealing.

Without the placeholder--or if the a single color value has the same label--the
swatch picker currently removes the color swatch and destroys the chart like
layout achieved.

I took the names/labels for the colors from the Wade and Owen Genat's
work--where labeling each hue with its graytone percentage is obvious. But the
color abbreviations for the place holders are a little wonky. Violet -> Vi,
Azure -> Az,  Spring Green -> SG,  Chartreuse Green -> CG, Orange -> Or and
Rose -> Ro but they have to have distinct labels. No reason not to give them a
label appropriate to the color column they represent--so keeping the percentage
and the color and add saturated.  Each could have a more concise label, even
drop saturated as Heiko suggested. 

First round I'd just labeled each "Saturated", but the swatch picker filters
them out that way--and each would have to have a different color to use the
same label.

you of course meant "white", and the place holders are blanked to white as well
(#FFFFFE) to represent them as "saturated" since the hue couldn't be shown nor
represented in sRGB.  I suspect that with the way some of the "dark" DE
inverting the whites and blacks you might be confused.
