I don't see how it could be anything different. The dialog shows the colour
index of the selected item.

That's basically what I said. You're expected to know that it's the
current colour that's displayed. You don't, and you're not informed. Are
we expected to memorise the manual?
Of course, my main point was that the designers of the present generation
of M$ products appear to have been instructed to find ways of maximising
the number of mouse clics required to perform the most elementary
functions.
I consider that Oo and derivatives are too much lookalikes of M$ products,
and hope their designers don't feel they have to copy all the mad bits.

From the colour selector dialog select 'more colours'. The currently
coloured item is displayed along with its RGB numbers.

I know this one isn't new, but that isn't a reason not to protest. There
seems to be a conspiracy at M$ to drive the largest possible number of
people MAD.
When you select or inspect the colour of text or another item in Word
2007, the colour codes (rgb) are no longer diplayed in this version.
Apparantly, this is because Word has been dumbed down for the benefit of
people who've never seen a computer.
If you want to choose a colour that matches another part of the document
or an imported item, you need a large number of mouse clics. Even then
it is far from obvious that the codes displayed initially under More (or
custom) Colours are those corresponding to one of the M$ fixed colours
(I'm translating from the .fr version). Since there is plenty of space
in the standard colour selection box, why can't we see the codes
directly? People who don't need the information would probably not
notice it's there.
