Description

The current color picker on the web control panel makes use of the HTML5 color picker input which isn't support on most mobile devices.

I would like to have a color picker implemented on the fixture control page that supports mobile.
Further, the color picker should update the fixture color as the picker is selected (before mouse/finger release, before submit etc).
Additionally, the picker should still allow users to type in their own custom hex value character by character.

Preferably, this should not use jQuery as the site currently does not use it.

Research direction

Start by locating the fixture control page and its current HTML5 color input, then trace how picker changes reach the fixture color. Done means a mobile-compatible picker updates during selection, accepts custom hex input character by character, and works without jQuery.
