Dunno about that.   Selecting a non-palette colour from the combo
only adds 1 or 2 (depending on how you count) steps.
    Combo                      Selector
    - button down		- button down
    - drag to custom		- button release
    - button release

Then the selector comes up.

I'm not sure there is alot of utility in having distinct widgets.
The selector is a simple specialization of the combo.  The
interfaces to get/set colour and potentially querying history should
be identical.
