Instead of having to guess what a selected object will look like in a certain color, selecting the color, then if it doesn’t look right, changing my mind and going to the palette again, why not just preview the change to a selected object live in the document on hover over the palette? That way I could see how it changes the design? Kind of how shopping for a different color tshirt, if you hover over the color dots it will change the manequin’s shirt color.
