Answer 1

Yes, the ColorPicker would be great, except as far as I can tell there's no way to assign names to the colors in my custom data provider. The user needs to know the name of the color (eg. P01 - Wisteria), but the ColorPicker only shows the hex values. Unless there's a way to change that?
Repasting the two code chunks from above, which didn't display properly:
Works, but doesn't show swatches:
TileList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeColor);
var colorBox:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
function changeColor(e:Event):void{  
   colorBox.color = tileList.selectedItem.data;
   box_mc.transform.colorTransform = colorBox; }
Shows swatches, but doesn't work:
var aBoxes:Array = new Array(); var i:uint = 0;
var printColorHex:Array = new Array(0xfac9c2, 0xFF0000, 0x0000CC, 0x00CC00, 0xFFFF00);
var printColorNames:Array = new Array("R-01 Pale Coral", "Cranberry", "Sky", "Forest", "July");
var dpPrintColors:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
for(i=0; i < printColorHex.length; i++) {
     aBoxes[i] = new MovieClip();
     drawBox(aBoxes[i], printColorHex[i]);    // draw box w next color in array
     dpPrintColors.addItem( {label:printColorNames[i], source:aBoxes[i]} );
aTl.dataProvider = dpPrintColors;
function drawBox(box:MovieClip,color:uint):void {
             box.graphics.beginFill(color, 1.0);
             box.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 140, 60);
             box.graphics.endFill();
