Can we please get color swatches in 'select by color' menus?

Since everyone's speculating on a possible Resolve 19 release,

Can we please add color swatches to the Timeline --> select clips with color (or clips with marker color) menus? When you add a color there's a swatch, but I can never remember the difference between tan and beige etc without the swatch to help me.

I wouldn't mind this.

Maybe adding a number next to the color instead of a word (or with it) too?
So there is no confusion : Is that green, lime, or olive? - It's 5

And this could be used for very quickly assign colors to anything, with a keyboard shortcut calling the color popup, the you type : 5, and it's assigned without having to move the mouse a single pixel. All with the left hand

funny thing is, in one menu it is arranged by "color hue" in the other is alphabetical... can we also streamline that?
