Yes, there is a reason: this option was based on features provided in unit
ColorSel originally suplied with Turbo Vision. Unfortunately, nobody has
contributed a free implementation of this unit (as oposed to other, more
important units, which were completely rewritten from scratch). Since we
are not allowed to distribute sources of the original Borland unit, we had
to remove this option until somebody provides a free alternative.
