The dojo toolkit has a color palette for selecting colors. We are planning
to implement this as a rectangular image map with color blocks organized
in a table layout. Using an image map allows the actual colors to still
remain visible in high contrast mode and it can be made keyboard
accessible. I am wondering how to identify this component? There is no
explicit role for color picker but it seems there should be some role
given to the component so the user has some idea about navigation. Does
it make sense to mark this up as a table or grid? Although it is only a
grid/table by virtue of the implementation strategy. There is also an
imggroup role but I'm not sure that makes sense either? Does this even
need an additional role beyond the image map itself?
