How would one add those menu choices to the Text Color dialog?

Here's what I tried (analogous to what was suggested by John Fultz in 
[mg42854]).  Inside AddOns > Autoload I created new directories 
TextColors > FrontEnd and in the latter placed an init.m with contents:

AddMenuCommands["TextColorsDialog", {Delimiter,
  Item["HelpBrowser Brick", FontColor -> RGBColor[0.592157, 0.313726, 
0.313726]],
  Item["Mocha", FontColor -> RGBColor[0.501961, 0.25098, 0]],
  Item["Ocean", FontColor -> RGBColor[0, 0.25098, 0.501961]],
  Item["Eggplant", FontColor -> RGBColor[0.25098, 0, 0.501961]]}]

But nothing seems to happen,  I also tried token names "TextColorDialog" 
and "TextDialog", with the same non-result.

What is the correct token name or other magic needed to do this?
