Morphic is designed for live and direct interaction instead of modal 
interactions. When selecting a color, you either copy from another Morph 
(picking) or choose a new shade from a color pane. The color pane is 
quite dense, so a preview pane is useful while we click and drag over 
the pane. Morphic logic is quite compact and simple to implement. Using 
mode flags disrupts this flow and introduces unnecessary complexity.

This is just my opinion. I will let others with more experience in 
Morphic pitch in their views.
