yes, designers have always been able, and encouraged, to pick out one of the color sets for an item.

it goes: 1 color set for the designer to choose, 1 color set for the pixelist to choose, then the rest are filled in by the recolorist to best make sure the item has both variety in its colors and the most flexible parts possible.

with ari, for example, i'll often tell him "give me a list of the color combos you want most and i'll see how much i can fit"
