The MX color picker was okay but very hard to use on mobile.  Even if you
scale it, it is hdd to predict the expansion of colors based on horizontal
vs. vertical.  To be honest, I like your idea.  The colour class logic is
very simple (getColor, setColor).  The UI component maybe needs a rethink?
 I purposely used sliders but found myself wishing I had pad more
attention in class to RGB nuances.

Let me work on an idea and I'll chuck it back.
