I've usually got a handful of colors that I use throughout a

out a menu of all the colors already in your stylesheet as hex values.

Even more sick would be identifying each item with their color

somehow, either by coloring the menu items (would suck w/ whites,

greys) or providing a box colorized next to each item indicating that

color. Would this be feasible?

Thoughts or suggestions would be great.

How about doing an HTML Output window?

You could program one that shows all the colors in your document in their colors.

Then when you click on one of them it pastes the color at at cursor location and closes the HTML Output window.

Allan changed the way some of that stuff works now. You can have javascript in the HTML Output window call a shell script that calls applescript to insert text without crashing the app now.

Or is that overkill?
