Hello,

Is there a color picker somewhere that is integrated with rails?  
Specifically a I’m hoping for a full 24-bit picker with sliders, etc,  
that can interact with rails objects, such as updating a form that  
rails has setup, or just injecting it’s chosen value into an input  
value that rails has set up to put back into an object after  
submission.

Thanks,  
Avram

Theres nothing integrated. But typically these widgets tend to be  
pure JavaScript in nature, and get bolted on to the graphical  
layer of many popular Ajax toolkits.

Just yesterday I was looking at an excellent flash based one  
(colour wheel, and automatic complementary colour picker).

Go to [webappers.com](http://webappers.com) and [programmableweb.com](http://programmableweb.com)  
great showcases for Web 2.0 APIs and toolkits. You will find  
plenty.
