With the "one custom color" I mean a situation like this:

1.) The default color set by the application is #ff0000 (which is not in
     the Tango palette) - default for some setting, not application wide
2.) User clicks on the button that brings up the color selector dialog
3.) The resulting dialog should show a "current" state, and without the
     single button for #ff0000 added, none of the color buttons could
     be selected.

For the custom colors, I think we can add a whole palette (named
"User defined"?) to the selection, and let the user customize it. This
"User defined" palette (again, 18 colors) can then be shared among
applications. It should probably be editable from within the dialog.
