ColorPickerExtender

One of the difficult data points to retrieve from an end user is color. This particular data point is tough to define if you are using just text. If you have an open selection of colors, how does the end user define a darker shade of blue? For this reason, you have the ColorPickerExtender to quickly and easily extend something like a TextBox control to a tool that makes this selection process a breeze. 

The following example shows a quick and easy way to do this task.

 When this page opens, you simply have a single TextBox server control on the page. Applying focus to this TextBox control pops up the color selector.

The end user then can scroll across the color options and after the user selects one of these colors, the pop-up disappears and the hexadecimal color code is shown in the TextBox.
