Description of the new feature / enhancement
OSX has had a system-wide color picker feature for well over a decade. Any app, any option, the SAME color picker opens. You can also save color swatches in a library for use across all apps.
Scenario when this would be used?
Microsoft doesn't even have a standardised color picker / palette across its Office apps, let alone system wide. For example, if I create a custom set of fill colours for a Word document, that color palette/color swatches are not saved next time I open the document. Instead, I have to manually go in, select a cell, choose colors > more colors, which then loads the swatch in the color palette for that session only for that color to be available.
Then, sometimes it's available to other Word documents, for that session only. It is NOT available in Excel or Powerpoint. It makes dealing with color in MS products and on Windows extremely tedious.
Supporting information
Just open up OSX and do anything that requires font colours or object fills. The color picker / palette / library is very simple and effective.
