One of the ways I found that you could force a selection to appear is if you click and drag and kind of wait. I think this is a bug that's currently in macOS though its been around for awhile. But you don't see a selection box around the color. Oh, I can click it and then it uses that color and even shows it here. But notice something! I can't select the color. The first one is that you select it and then press the Delete Key on your keyboard. There are basically two ways to remove a color. Now in addition to rearranging these I could also remove them. Now all the way back in TextEdit you can see the colors have updated and I can choose whichever one I want to change the color of the selected item. Then I could take that color and drag that here as well. Let's go and use another Color Picker panel. I can choose a new color or I can choose one of these that I saved. I can click right here and then click the Color Picker icon and now I get this interface. Let's create a shape here and let's say I want to go and change the color. Now here I am in that third party app, Pixelmator Pro. Notice I can drag them around to rearrange them in any way I want. Let's group it with that other bluish color there. Drag this over and I will drag a chip right here. So now in Mail here if I want to color some text I click here, click Show Colors, and I have those selections right there. I can't just stick it out here by itself. If I choose another color I can Drag that over and place it in any position there but only in those first three spots. So since I have one there I can put it before or after that first one. This is a linear list so you can't position it somewhere later on. I could put it before or after that chip. So I can set a variety of different colors in here. I've got that saved color and if I want to select it all I need to do is click it and notice here the color is set to that. Now if I switch over to Pages with the text selected I can bring up the Color Picker and notice the chips are still there. Now you can see I've saved it here to this first position. To save one all I need to do is Drag and Drop like that. Over here I have these small chips where I can save these to. I've got this big chip here to the left showing me the current color selected. I can save that really easily using these chips below. I'll go from darkest all the way to lightest here. So I can choose anyone of these modes for the Color Picker. So for instance let's use the Color Picker here to change the color of this. This means you could save colors in one app and use them anywhere. Now the Color Picker works on different apps on your Mac but it's part of a system. Notice the little button here and it brings it up. Usually one of those ways is to choose the Color Picker. Even third party apps like Pixelmator Pro you can choose the color several ways. If I want to change the color, notice I've got that Show Colors button, and now I've got this same Color Picker. If I go to Pages and do the same thing and click the little Color Wheel icon there which usually is used to show that you're going to go to the Color Picker you get the same exact Color Picker. I can click here and then I can choose one of the colors here shown as a color chip. For instance, I'm here in TextEdit and I choose some text.
