Change the color of the axis name on the Properties -> Scale page

I find that changing of the color of the axis name to be different than changing the colors of any other items on the axis of a graph or chart as well as less intuitive and more mouse intensive.  If the ability were on the Scale page of the Properties, it would be with the rest of the axis Scale color boxes.

 

Here is the current Scale page of the Properties dialog box for a graph:

So you can adjust the colors of the scaling like so:

But the only way to then change the color of the axis name to match the scale colors is to highlight the entire text box, click on the Font drop-down box, slide to Color and then slide to your color without moving the cursor outside of the drop-down box because then you get to start over at the drop-down box.  This is a lot of mouse movement when you have three or four different plots that you want to have unique colors.

 

A better way would be to have a selection for the color right on that properties page like so:

It doesn’t matter if it’s in that spot exactly or with the rest of the color selector boxes in the Scale Style and Colors section.  But I believe it would make sense for it to be on that page.

How much would I affect the integrity of the idea exchange if I kudoed solely on avatar awesomeness?
