Copy presets as list of RGB-triples	The actually preset (color as indicated by the color panels) are copied to clipboard as semicolo-separated list of color triples. E.g.: "149,201,255;148,214,209;161,232,247;133,211,106;..."
Paste list of RGB triples	Take a color-triple list from clipboard and assign it to the custom color panels. List should contain multiple color triples (RGB) separated by semi-colon (";" ) or in multiple lines. If you copy/paste too few (<27) triples, remaining custom color panels remain unchanged. If you copy/paste too many (>27) triples, superficial triples are ignored.
