Not necessarily.

In pre-HTML-5 browsers they are simply a textbox.

In HTML 5 browsers the browser can choose any UI they want; the spec
only defines the values which the form elements have.  So a colour
picker could be a button with a coloured square on it, where clicking
that square brings up the platform's generic colour-picker dialog box.
There might not be a textbox-like part of it anywhere.
