I see.

Yes.

It is unification of user interface. I consider two buttons to be needless in
order to open color dialog. Picture icon applies a direct color. Under arrow
icon opens color dialog. Even if picture icon doesn't work with KWord.

No, I think that the same icons should do the same action. Because, I think
that a user is confused.

This is my opinion.
