Text color selection oddity

Here's a minor issue, but worth fixing at some point.

Select a component that supports text color, such as text area or icon-with-label. Notice the default text color: black. But look at the properties panel for the selected color: it's white.

Now, open the color selector and click the white square in the palette, as if you really want the text to be white. Text color remains black.

Go back to the palette, select black (or anything other than white) and your text will reflect the new color. At this point, you can go to the palette once again and get white to work.

Seems like the coordination trouble would be fixed if the default palette selection matched to the default text color, and started off aimed at black.

Perfectly usable as is, but puzzled me for a moment.
