Description
I'm glad to see that projects exist that refine and personalize the user experience. We should use them whenever the native experience is not satisfactory for UX purposes.
However, `type="color"` [exists](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#color-state-(type%3Dcolor)). And I strongly think that any introduction to a color-picking library should start by informing users of what exists and [how it is supported](https://caniuse.com/input-color) by current browsers (including the limitations).
This way, we ensure that the library always fulfills its objective of **improving the web**.

Research direction
Review the library's existing introduction and usage documentation, then compare its color-picker guidance with the native HTML color input and the linked browser-support information. Done means the documentation explains type="color", its current support and limitations, before introducing color-picking libraries.
