If you are talking about the little color picker, you can!… kinda… The trick is knowing that colors are actually represented by numbers from 0 to 15, so you really don’t have to have the little color picker thingy. If you hover over the color in the image editor, it will show you which number the color is. 0 is transparent, 15 is black, I think the order goes left to right, top to bottom in the little color picker thing:

Also @Richard I know it can be added with an extension, but could we get a free-floating one of those small color picker blocks in base arcade? I think it would make things like this a lot easier and would (hopefully) be a simple thing to add!
