HotCakeX I not referring to a color eye-dropper picker like in DEV tools or Powertoys. I'm talking about using the browser's built-in COLOR PALETTE selector when using the HTML5 "<input type='color' />" (similar to jQuery Plugins but worst). e.g. make 2 DIVs with no background color. Select one and open the html5 INPUT color palette. It only has a 'Change' and 'Input' event and no buttons.
1. Using Canvas or whatever, select and add a color from the palette to the first DIV. Use a little code the change the css background to the palettes selected color value.
2. Now select the the second div and add the same color.
You can't, the same color value has not 'Changed' NOR or it's 'INPUT' value.
Same goes for the Window's Gawd awful looking (year 19??) color palette dialogue.
