The actual dialog is a private class named ColorUI, nested inside the System.Drawing.Design.ColorEditor class. That prevents you from altering it.

You'll need to create a complete replacement for this UITypeEditor derived class. You can get implementation hints on getting this right by using Reflector. Beware that you cannot override the [Editor] attribute on existing controls, your new version of the dialog will only be usable on your own custom controls.
