This widget is a simple interface to the standard colour picker as provided by Windows or the Mac OS. A single click on the colour ball causes the colour picker to appear. When you have chosen the colour to use, the widget displays the hexadecimal value of the colour so that you can copy/paste that value into your website development IDE or other tool.
You will, of course, need Yahoo widgets for this widget to run. Get Yahoo widgets here:

This widget has really just been given a steampunk facelift as it is based upon the colour picker widget from Merlin ('arry Whitfield). Harry has created loads of gorgeously efficient Yahoo widgets that range from enigma decoding machines to resistor calculators. Harry's widgets are always fascinating, well-coded and do the job, however none of them are quite steampunk enough for me! So, I have taken on the challenge of steampunkifying one of Harry's widgets, the colour picker widget. I do hope you like it.
This widget works with Windows XP SP3 and has been tested on Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS/X.
