Description
# [Feature] Colour picker component
ICDS has no component for colour selection. The alternatives are the native ``, whose UI is browser-controlled and inconsistent with ICDS, or a third-party picker that ignores ICDS tokens, focus styles and high contrast handling.
**As an ICDS user**, I need to select a colour from a palette or as a custom value, **so that** I can configure visual attributes in the products I build.
**As a screen reader or keyboard user**, I need the selected colour announced as text and the picker fully keyboard-operable, **so that** the choice isn't conveyed by appearance alone.
A palette-only component would already cover most of these cases if a full free-form picker is more than the working group wants to take on.

Research direction
Use the issue requirements as the starting point: determine whether the first scope is a palette-only component or a full custom picker. Define how selected colours are announced as text and how keyboard operation, ICDS tokens, focus styles, and high-contrast handling should work. Done means the chosen scope supports these accessibility and styling requirements.
