when i click on my input box the picker appears very far away and offscreen and the bottom of the page.
in the screenshot my mouse clicked on the pink box. (setting background-color style to the color from the color picker)
It is some kind of a modal window? Check the colorpicker-fixed-position="true" attribute. I'll merge #27 next week, I think it will resolve your issue too.
