It works. Even choosing the decisive option by the first letter. It's a great 
convenience. I love it! definitely a must for color selection (how many 
colours are there? More than 600.

Anyway, finally I'll have the chance to draw a "saddlebrown" or "royalblue4" 
graph instead of just a boring black. ;)

Just kidding. How to deal with this huge number of options this can't be 
inserted in a "normal" plug in as option. Via an "embed" "color 
option-plug-in"?
However, this will certainly improve RKWards plug-ins in many ways.
