Build Section Suggestions

I made this list on another person's post but I feel that this cheese should stand alone. If anyone has a suggestion they would like to see me add please let me know.

P.S. I know I am being very specific with colors but if we don't say what colors we would like to see they cheap out on them. I say this because although I would really love Create a Style and a Color Wheel I doubt very seriously they will put one in at this point.
