But how to delete colors from it? Click and delete does not work, click and drag it away doesn't work either...
Only way I found is to click and drag the pot of color to the Trashcan! Simple enough... When you know it.

How to delete a color from the Apple Color Picker custom swacth?
The custom color swatch drawer is a great way to store custom colors that I repeatedly use in projects.

How to transfer the Color Picker swatch from one Mac computer to another
If you are like me, you have a color swatch full of specific colors within Color Picker.
But what if you work on a different computer and need that specific swatch? Or like me, you are now using a new Os - clean install?
Well, it's easy, the swatch leaves under: ~your home folder/Library/Colors
It's called: NSColorPanelSwatches.plist
Just copy it from your old Os User/computer and paste it to your new Os User/computer and you are done! (You might need to quit and reload apps.)
Much faster than recreating it by hand. And actually if you need different ones, you can create as many NSColorPanelSwatches#1, #2, #3 as needed. As far as I can tell, only one can be active at a given time, so some renaming has to happen.
Custom NSColorPanelSwatches.plist present
