I would like to have a colorpicker which acts as a dropdown (like now) but also shows not just the active color, but also a (dynamic) list of recently used or custom colors next to the active color, depending on the available width of the element (possibly up to a certain max-width CSS value).
Clicking any color will select this color without needing to open the dropdown form; clicking the down arrow will open the full color selector.
This makes it easier (saves one click) to select recent colors and makes better use of screen real estate if a dynamic width is available.
