I feel like some people tend to go straight into customizing the CSS when it is more appropriate to start with the palette and then use the CSS for individual tweaks.

Not sure how useful it would be or if it would fall into the same thread, but what about while in the templates we have the same popup as we do in style properties for the color palette. Don't know how effective it might be but it could be useful rather then going back to look at the color palette. If that made sense... I feel I'm out of it today 
Just for sake of my own clarification, do you mean the drop-down list? *confused*Not sure how useful it would be or if it would fall into the same thread, but what about while in the templates we have the same popup as we do in style properties for the color palette.

Some way to check what each color property is while editing templates (i.e. hovering over @primaryDarker and seeing the color or something) might be nice too.

Hahaha, VeeBieJeebies is a little style I put together to test how flexible the XenForo style system can be. It's not a finished style, and never will be, but its goal is to dramatically change the look of the style using only style properties, just to see what's possible and demonstrate the immense power that's available.Like style VeeBieJeebies.
You might recognise the style from which it derives its name

But that is very neat. It's actually a great idea for people who want to keep that style on their current forums, specifically those who do not get custom styles beyond color alterations, and just transfer to XenForo that way. It will less likely startle the users during the transfer.
I know what you're thinking - maybe I'll make an IPB version and a phpBB version too, just to prove a pointHope someone doesn't see that...

I'm referring to when I'm in the Template files like the specific code, if I'm adding additional code to say extra.css, somewhere right above the editor maybe make a popout with the color wheel/pre-define color palette, so as I'm coding new things for a design my color reference is right there on the editing page. When I get home I'll do a mock up so it makes more sense, my brain is fried
I get what you mean.

Yeah; that would be a nice addition.I'm referring to when I'm in the Template files like the specific code, if I'm adding additional code to say extra.css, somewhere right above the editor maybe make a popout with the color wheel/pre-define color palette, so as I'm coding new things for a design my color reference is right there on the editing page.

Implemented
That is going to be very handy. No more switching tabs to double check the color palette.
Oh, and it looks like we're getting RC3?
You can't. It's an experimental style on my local development board and apart from those two bits I've shown, the whole thing is a mess.
