I wonder if there is any way to launch the set Foreground Color dialog (the one with three sliders/numbers) in the GUI besides first opening the color picker, and then double click a color? The same question applies to the Background Color dialog. Also, how to do this in a macro?

What about adding entries named "Foreground..." and "Background..." for doing exactly this, above or below the "Color Picker" entry in the new and very useful right-click-menu of the color picker tool icon?

A related request:
In the color picker, the name of the color is written as a copyable word like "black" or "red" in the bottom of the picker.
What about making this editable, so that one can just type "red" to set the current foreground or background color to that?
For the colors that do not match the predefined names, one could also here be allowed to type a hex triplet like #56b900.
