That actually works exactly like you're describing already in V2 - hold down Ctrl and click on the color swatch area of a style in the scene browser and the color picker will pop up and let you edit the color.

Also another related shortcut is if you right-click on the style line in the properties panel (the panel that shows some info on the currently selected objects), that will pop up an edit style dialog for editing that style's name and/or color without going to the full style editor dialog.
