Proposal by Mirek2
Mockups
Description
Color Preview
The bubble at the bottom of the pop-up shows the current object color and, if possible, the color to be applied (the one that is hovered over or the one being set under "Custom color") on top of it. The preview shows the color name in order to be accessible for the color-blind. The label on the box is shown either in black or white, depending on whether the previewed color is dark or light. The label should always use easily translatable common nouns.
Recent
A row of recent colors is shown at the bottom of the "Custom color" view. They are in chronological order, from the newest to the latest. The first item is always the color being set.
The Tools menu should list commands related to color that aren't usually needed in the course of picking a color, such as "Change theme...".

These are functionally based on Mirek2's change on the tentative design but are pretty close to Issa's version as well.
