    Create shapes, then move them off the slide master to the margin. However, such a palette isn't especially useful, since those shapes can't be selected in Edit (Normal) mode.

    For a solution that users can actually use, add the colors to a Custom Colors palette that appears on the standard color picker. Here's my how-to article:

    Create colored shapes, then move them off the edge of the slide in Slide Master view. However, such a palette isn't especially helpful to users, since the shapes cannot be selected and read without entering slide master view.

    For a more useful solution, create a Custom Color palette that gets added to the standard color picker. Here's my how-to article: https://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2015/06/xml-hacking-custom-colors/
