Renaming colours in the colour palette

It would be really helpful if a feature could be added where a user can right click any given colour in the colour palette to give it a name or identifier.

I create pixel artwork for cross stitch patterns, and I would like to rename colours in the colour palette to correspond with IRL thread colours. This feature would be huge in organising my workflow and colour palettes within my projects.

I really hope this can be implemented in a near future update!

Honestly wondering, how would you see it implemented in the ui? Like where would the color names display? I often work in ui/ux design and when I get requests like this it could even be easy to implement but hard to make it logical in the ui

I was thinking something similar to right-clicking a layer to open the layers property window. But instead it would be right clicking a swatch to open a swatches property window. The the name could be either displayed in a small hover window when the curser is over a swatch, or displayed at the bottom of the screen in the info bar, or displayed in both those options.

I would just like a way to be able to identify which colour is which when using a very specific colour palette with similar colours.

For my purpose, it would be a huge time saver to be able to set my colour palette in Aseprite according to the particular DMC thread colours I require, so that when I export the finished artwork and import it into my cross-stitch software, the process of thread colour matching in my cross-stitch software becomes much more seamless.
