The color picker is a great addition to let the client easily pick colors with optical feedback. But most times you only want them to pick from a limited selection and process class names instead of hex codes.

So it would be nice if you could

- limit the selection per ContentBlock element (already possible globally)
- deactivate the picker, just leave the swatches
- connect the swatches to class names

So maybe just like a modified select setting where you set  
`#FFFFFF==mywhitecolorclass||#FF0000==myredcolorclass`  
and the hex-values are converted into swatches?

Update: It would also be great to have an option for »no color«!

I fully agree.

You described exactly the “Improved color chooser input” we would like.

We would love to see this too! 😀

I’d also like the option to have the color picker default to empty and be able to clear the field after a color has been picked. To use it as an override from a global color.

All of this has been added to the color input in v2.
