When editing a message, a post, or any entry, is it possible to have a *color* selection tool? It would be great to have one, instead of typing it into a post.

I second that!

This site has multiple "themes" users can select from that have very different appearances, and manually selecting a color in a post risks making the text it's applied to painful to look at or entirely unreadable for a large chunk of users. Like, I use the default theme, but I know a lot of folks who use a dark theme with light text instead.

It's possible, but for the reasons Zelphyr mentioned, I have always declined to add it because I want to discourage the use of colors in forum posts as much as possible. I'm not going to stop you if you're willing to take the time to decrease the accessibility of your posts, but I'm also not going to make it easy and simple -- because it has such a high liklihood of making it difficult and frustrating for at least some of your readers.
