Description

Role::ColorWell is copied verbatim from chromium's API.

As far as I can tell, it refers to a button that opens a color picker when clicked; it refers specifically to the button, and not the color-picking widget associated to the button.

https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/color-wells

I don't know how well-known the concept is; it's described in the Apple AppKit documentation and a few other frameworks, but it seems niche overall. Googling "color well" gives unhelpful results.

It's probably worth spending a few lines explaining the concept, maybe with a link to the Apple doc.

Search the repository for Role::ColorWell, then read the Apple Human Interface Guidelines color-wells documentation linked in the issue. Update the relevant documentation to explain that a color well is the button that opens a color picker, distinguish it from the picker itself, and include the Apple link.
