Add a colorpicker #74

This seems like something reasonable I could tackle but wanted to get some input before diving in.

In my opinion, since the storyboards are more for sketching and less for full on drawing a heavily featured colorpicker will be overkill and add clutter to the app. It almost sounds like HEX colors, HSL, and the full gradient pickers wouldn't be as ideal as a good solid range of colors.

Here are a couple of color pickers that I think might be what we're looking for:

Option A Only what's inside the circle Super basic palette Another basic palette - I like how this has grays on the inside.

Additionally, I'm thinking that perhaps it would be nice to allow users to customize their color palette at the top so that they don't have to keep accessing a dropdown/flyout menu.

What are your thoughts on this?

I could imagine drawing the color picker on a canvas element and making it relatively easy to try a new one if we decide we need something different. Basically, have a draw function and a pick function so we can switch it out easily?

I could imagine having the last 3 picked colors in a new color row next to the picker to allow for easy re-selection of chosen colors
