Public bug reported:

>From upstream bug:
After many years using LibreOffice/OOo I found out today for the first time how
to set font colour to a custom RGB colour.

To do this, you need to add a new colour to the palette, via Tools->Options,
Colour.

Then in that dialog, the workflow is kind of unintuitive. I clicked on the
"Add" button to add a new colour, which was the wrong thing to do - apparently
I needed to change the name of the active colour first - then when I clicked
"Modify", and set the new RGB colour, then clicked "OK", the colour wasn't
saved - I had to click "Modify" first.

I was expecting to see this in the toolbar in the colour drop-down - perhaps a
"Custom" button at the bottom of drop-down? Or right-click->Modify in the
palette colours? Or even in "Format->Character". But this definitely seems like
a context change, rather than a global setting/option.
