Color picker in styles

[Zorg]

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but can you put a jave(?) script in the styles area so it's easyer to pick the colors we want for text, category bg etc etc. I guess a popup windows that shows the spectrum?

Here is a rough image of what I mean.

More people would respond to this thread if you posted it over at vbulletin.org

This is a hack.

He knows that but he is suggesting it for the next version, since this is the Suggestions forum.

This would be a TERRIFIC addon. It gets cluttered when I have to have Dreamweaver open to pick out colors and go back to IE and paste em in etc.

Heh, I guess I forgot where I was. :D

I think I suggested this awhile back. This is an excellent idea. Another suggestion would be to have a sample table/page that you can see the color changes on to see if they look good in the design or not.

This is a much needed featureand would save people alot time and ugly color schemes :D

maybe you would consider my Color Picker hack, which does exactly what is discussed here?

It's a very easy hack to install, so I'm kind of hoping that Jelsoft will consider including it in their official package

I found a very cool dhtml color picker with almost photoshop-like capabilities (http://home.netscape.com/computing/webbuilding/studio/feature19981111-5.html)

or a very simple one, which neatly orders all web-safe colors (http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/color-picker.html)

I know the netscape one. I didn't use it because it requires some knowledge in print/imaging and isn't altogether userfriendly.

The browser-safe 216 colors are bs, imo. In reality, they are more like 36 colours with very slight shading. And, there's no grayscale at all among them.

I used the html compliant palette (named colours, although I use the hex values) because it has the largest variation of pre-defined colours (as opposed to shades). But in any event, creating palettes is really easy, whether you use imagemap, or javascript generated map for browsersafe colours.
