Re: [EXTERNAL] Target size for color pickers

Hello Ajay,

I agree with Mark. Colour pickers that are gradients are one target because
you can usually hold the left-click and move the cursor. You have multiple
controls, which need to be a sufficient size or adequately spaced. Some
users with hand tremors may have difficulties selecting a colour without
help.

Adding the ability to input HEX codes, etc, might achieve the Equivalent
part. However, remembering values could be problematic.
