Skencil has a colour palette as a toolbar just above the status bar and he mentioned that this was like Corel and very convenient. (I think Xara X did this too).
The only problem with those color toolbars is that they're usually very hard to use and organize.
I'd like to use it as an accumulator of common colors I use in the document, rather than a widget to select all the colors of the rainbow (and scroll painfully through them), which tends to be the default.
Yeah, that'd be very handy... For web design especially, you end up reusing the same damn colors (or slight variants on them) again and again.
It would be interesting to see if there could be a smart color widget that displays major colors used in the SVG, plus variants on them like lighter/darker, or their complementary versions, etc. For people with little artistic talent like me, that might even serve to make programmer art not look so bad! ;-)
