OK I get it. I have seldom used the default colors, so I have a simple text document with the hex codes for the colors I use frequently. Well, that's how it started, my document has now expanded to include all of my boilerplate for responding to customers, as well as some special characters that I use a lot - I guess it's my all-purpose Zazzle cheat sheet! Anyhow, I just leave a copy of it open on my computer whenever I'm working so it's super easy to go grab what I need.
That being said, I've often wished that we could create and save custom color pallets which could be loaded into the design tool to make it easy to grab frequently used colors. I suppose we could do something similar ourselves by creating an image with a pallet of colors used in a given collection or whatever - then you could load the image into the design temporarily while you're working on stuff and just use the eyedropper to grab the appropriate colors. Not sure that's any easier than my text document, but it would put it all at your fingertips while you're designing.
