The new color fieldtype is not as flexible as the old one. Here are few annoyances that I have come across:
Value is not clearable / optional. You have to pick a color. My app relies on colours being optional.
You cannot paste values into it. Annoying if you want to copy / paste a hex value. You can paste into the field before the popup appears, but you cannot paste into the popup.
Can no longer select opacity. Now I have to set up two fields (range field, color field) to achieve the same results.
Somebody has already covered the opacity problem here.
