Multiple "Font Color" buttons

[Josh Gallagher]

It would be good to have multiple "Font Color" buttons on the toolbar and be
able to choose a different colour in each one. The same would apply to the
highlight buttons. Currently if I'm going through a note highlighting or
colouring text based on some criteria, I cannot quickly shift between a set
of colours. I need to open the drop down palette each time.

Currently if I add another toolbar and place the "Font Color" button on it
so that two are visible at once (one on the Formatting toolbar), selecting a
colour in one automatically changes the colour in the other.

Of course, adding a custom toolbar just to get multiple copies of a button
is a hack, so perhaps the standard "Font Color" button could be modified to
display several "recent colours" for quick clicking.
