Description

### Current behaviour

Color picker popup is not fully shown. I can't fill the color manually because the input is obscured. This happens for primary, secondary, and tertiary color pickers. I don't know if this happens on another platform, but I'm currently using Firefox 155.0 at the time of writing.

### Expected behaviour

The color picker should be fully shown.

### How to reproduce?

1. Go to **React Native Paper** documentation site (v5 or v6).
2. Navigate to **Guides -> Theming -> Creating Dynamic Theme Colors**.
3. Scroll down to the custom theme builder / color picker section and click any color input.

### Preview

### What have you tried so far?

I was able to show the whole thing by changing the "div" element with "color-picker-popup" class, "position" style to "relative" instead of "absolute". But it also grows the parent "tr" element.

Research direction

Start at the React Native Paper documentation page for Guides → Theming → Creating Dynamic Theme Colors and inspect the custom theme builder, especially the element using the color-picker-popup class. Reproduce the issue in Firefox with each color picker, then verify that the popup and manual color input are fully visible without breaking the surrounding layout.
