Perhaps there should be such a mode? It does make sense for this exact
feature. But how would it turn out for the other features that do color
picking? Would it simplify or make things harder? Some other applications do
have the color picker as a "mode".

As I see it the only straight forward way to implement this is by using the
color picker. This will lead to the mentioned case where one can pick other
things than the actual contents of the palette. This might not be ideal, but
I cannot think of another implementation that handles the "holding down and
letting go of the key will get the color of the slot you're hovering over"
case well.
Any ideas?
I guess one possibility might be to register a button release event and look
for the the invokation key, but this would require the palette to know this
key (which the user might change).
