Do we remove black from the dropdown palette too?

So it's not a bad idea, but there is some devil in the details...
Black is still easier to read than the matching grey. I still stand by my suggestion -- reduce the palette to black, white, and 4-6 other colors (red, blue, green, ...maybe orange, yellow, violet, for example), along with the automatic option. The current selection has 24 choices. Having 6 or 8 in total would keep the selection window rectangular.

I'm only harping on this because I saw several posts today that were in the #333333 gray.
