Of course, but would it really be that much quicker than clicking Menu
over the colour bar to open the New colour dialogue and creating the
new colour there? The main problem is that your colour wheel could
only give access to a limited selection of colours and how often would
these be adequate? So, is there really a call for a cut-down colour
selector just for a subset of HSV colours?

I presume you know that you can see the colour name in the info bar of
the flat fill tool?
