Colour Palette could be accessible in Preferences via a new tab.

The amount that can be accomplished with P/LE and macros is astounding, and I’ve seen users create their own functions in such a way that I bet Steinberg didn’t even know was possible themselves.

The corresponding Color Pallet looks like this

Really everything that could be detected by the PLE should be able to be detected.
