Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As part of the way sites can update their theme, we need a color picker component. The HTML5 color pickers aren't universally reliable and the ones that work have a poor UX.
Describe the solution you'd like
- A color picker that appears on
.click. - A "visual" way to select a color (open to suggestion).
- A way to paste in a HEX or RGB color code.
Additional context
I've designed this, but am not married to it:
