jQuery MiniColors

jQuery MiniColors is simple, compact, and can be attached to a text or a hidden input control.

When triggered, users can either type in a hex color code, or just select the desired color using the popup spectrum.

The chosen color can then be used inside the input field, passed to another app, or submitted via the form.

Various color picker widget types are supported, along for selecting a color's alpha-transparency value.

A demo is included with the download package.
