The swap button should not mimic the appearance of the Pri/Sec color selection circles.
Which is why my suggestion is to place the Swap button between the Pri/Sec circles. Hovering your mouse over it would show up a pair of curved "swap" arrows.

Same here. In-fact I did it last night multiple times. I couldn't decide on which order to have the colors in on a new costume design. Being able to swap them would have been a lot quicker and easier. This would also eliminate the "what color was it that I had selected?...crap!".

Was thinking about this a bit. You know what else I'd sorta like? A secondary palette that could hold a small number of color pairs, and you could just click on a color pair in the palette to set the current costume piece to match it.
