Shortcut to close Text Colour dialog in Pages/Keynote

Does anyone know a keyboard shortcut for closing dialog windows such as the 'Text Colour' box that appears when you're selecting a colour for text in Pages, Keynote etc (image below)?


I've been using Mac for 20+ years and know a ton of shortcuts but have never worked out how to do this without a mouse!


TIA


Ben

In Keynote or Pages, you can use shift + command + C to show and hide the Color Picker window.
