Technically the custom colours are stored in an xml file deep in a hidden part of your Windows user profile. So if you are able to find the file it should be a simple task to remove them with the help of a text editor. However this sort of hacking with program support files can be dangerous and I doubt anyone from the Articulate team will endorse such practices.
Thank you. I just selected white and added to custom color until all boxes were white. Then I added the custom colors that I wanted. Just a quick work around without causing any damage.
You can overwrite a custom color, just click on it and then change it to something else - but there isn't a delete button. You're always welcome to share your thoughts on features you'd like to see with our product team here.
It would be great to be able to right click on a custom color to remove it as a feature in articulate.
Sometimes I have variations of a lighter or darker shade of a color and until I find exactly what I want, I can delete (remove) each one I no longer need instead of wondering which one it is bc they are so close in color. I don't want to overwrite it.
Thanks for adding these additional details, Anne-Marie!
We don't have a feature for right-clicking on a custom color to remove it, but I can see how this would impact your workflow! Our team uses this contact form to track these requests. We'll keep you updated if our team chooses to add this to our roadmap.

Shame there's no better way to do this. I too have needed to remove colors.
