I know it was missing from the repositories for a long time but it does now appear to be back in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories. It's a tiny download so would hardly bloat the ISO, plus the MATE version has the same type of colour picker already installed, so I think it could be justified on the grounds of keeping the different versions similar as regards installed software.
Add Gcolor3 to Mint Xfce (and maybe Cinnamon too)

Add Gcolor3 to Mint Xfce (and maybe Cinnamon too)
I would like to suggest that the very useful colour-picker program gcolor3 should be added as a pre-installed app in Mint 22. It's the type of small but easily-overlooked utility that should be there in a complete setup (like the Character Map for instance). It's good to be able to identify the hex code of colours just by clicking on the screen or to show a colour by typing in its code, and it's also able to save precise colours. I realise it can be added by the user, but new users might not know about the program or even what to search for if they want something like this.
