Description

What type of issue is this?

Browser bug (a bug with a feature that may impact site compatibility)

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

On the browser compatibility you write the datalist on color input is supported from v12, but with on last version "107.0.1418.26" it don't work properly

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

Chromium (Chrome, Edge 79+, Opera, Samsung Internet)

What did you expect to see?

When I click on a color from a datalist linked to color picker html native element, Edge must select that color.

Did you test this? If so, how?

The list of color appears correctly, but when you click a color setted in datalist, Edge return always "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)". Then, if you click on "Others..." (color) all appears correctly, but the color selection continue to not work.

All work fine only if you oper the color picker and go directly on "Others..." (color).

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?
