Hi @niktob560, thank you for the comment. Were not more log lines output?

Shure, there is a full output of console at cold start of VS code with calling a picker:

The Electron in your computer might have a problem. Try this:

1. Uninstall the extension via VS Code.
2. Remove this directory:
   /home/nikto_b/.vscode-oss/extensions/anseki.vscode-color-0.4.5
3. Execute these commands in terminal app (not "TERMINAL" panel in VS Code):
   npm uninstall -g electron
npm uninstall -g electron-prebuilt npm cache clean
4. Execute this command in terminal app to confirm the cache data were cleared (i.e. no file is shown):
   npm cache ls
5. Remove this directory:
   ~/.electron.
6. Press Ctrl + kbd>@</kbd keys (Shift key also might be required) in VS Code. Then a "TERMINAL" panel is opened.
7. In the "TERMINAL" panel above (not terminal app), execute this command:
   node -e "console.log(require('electron-prebuilt'))"
   Then an error Error: Cannot find module 'electron-prebuilt' should occur (this is correct result).
8. Re-install the extension via VS Code.

Hmm... If an error about a library was shown, this may solve this issue: https://github.com/anseki/vscode-color/issues/89 However, this issue might be related to glibc. If so, it is not easy... https://github.com/anseki/vscode-color/issues/90 Then, you had better use Color Picker of VS Code instead.

No reply came, then this abandoned issue is closed.
