P: Improve access to "Recent Colors" so it's available in more tools.

Hi there! I am a concept artist and game texture painter, and both me and my employer studio choose Photoshop for our content creation and have done so for years. I like Photoshop's "Recent Colours" as a feature, but I wish it wasn't hiding in the Swatches and Shapes windows: swatches and shapes are good for graphic design, but are not really relevant in a painter's workflow.

I like to reduce the number of panels I keep open as I paint, so I propose two options to improve access to recent colors:

Option A) Adding "Recent Colors" to other tools in Photoshop. Adding to 1. The Color panel (pictured); 2. The Color Picker (pictured); 3. maybe even the Brushes panel (not pictured, that was an afterthought that came to me while I was posting 🙂 ). There might be other logical places.

Alternatively, for Option B), review this recent Ideas post from EdTechLiam, who proposed that "Recent Colours" gets a Panel of its own.

I've shared this with the team for review. Thanks for the detailed post.
