Not really. The documentation says:

"""
Emitted when a color is activated from the color chooser. This usually happens
when the user clicks a color swatch, or a color is selected and the user presses
one of the keys Space, Shift+Space, Return or Enter.
"""

i.e. you need to activate the color, just like you'd activate a widget
or a menu item.

Can you create a small, self-contained test case that reproduces the
behaviour you experience, so that we don't have to clone, build, and
run a whole application?

Ciao,
