The way things are done is not always the best way. Most colour pickers are used in instances where "not selected" would make no sense. However, as you're designing a widget for the web that may be used by billions of people in any number of unforeseen ways, flexibility is a virtue, and the option to clear the field would be an improvement. If you don't allow a "not selected" or null option, this would basically force all colour widgets to be required fields, which may not be what the form designer wants. To compare, some date pickers do not allow you to clear the field, but some do. For the web, it's a useful feature.
