One thing I would find VERY useful would be the ability to pick a selection of
part and then see what colours they have in common.

I do a lot of MOC's in Studio before I build them in the real. A lot of
times I just want to a colour change but many parts are not available in all
colours. If I could choose the parts I want to check and then see which colours
they all have in common it would save a ton of time. I doubt I'm the only
one who would find this useful.

You already have all the data in your system, it wouldn't be that hard to
code that option.

First, it’s not clear if you’re talking about Studio or if you want that suggestion
for the website/catalogue.
If the former, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is here: https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
AND, you can already simply do that in Studio: check “Hide unavailable colors”
in the general Colour Palette (on the top right), then select the parts in the
viewport, then open the colour palette, and only the common colours will be available.
