I dont see precisely what you mean here.
Can you elaborate on this : how do you create and use colors ?

I do the same.
I have created a set of usefull glyphs in the character palette
and the "espace fine insecable" is part of it.
(There is a request to add a keyboard shortcut for this common need :

I agree fully.
Some people have once worked on this
