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.
I recall raster graphics applications that let you choose exactly what palette you want to use. They are not as dynamic as you suggest, at best you can generate a new palette from all the colours contained in the current image. There doesn't seem to be reason why the recent/frequently used colours could not be provided as a view to the colour palette.
Inkscape Would Inkscape want to have a colour palette eventually? (or would a differnt way to choose and reuse colours be more approriate, say improving the colour picker itself rather than adding a seperate colour palette. I dont know I'm just putting out ideas)
