you want your visitor to be able to change colors, or are you looking to customize a theme?
Define some new css classes, then create some quicktags to speed up using them.

Not what you want, but close ?
Well podz that is a good idea that I had not considered.
I guess what I really want is a small window that pops up with a color wheel that automatically determines the HTML color number based on where you click.
Miklb I would like a colorwheel-like interface to pop up when writing or editing a post that inserts the correct HTML around highlighted text to change it to the color I clicked on.
While it isn’t a pop up thing, check out these resources.

And it isn’t hard to add something like:
<span style="color:blue">Text in blue</span>
As you are writing. Or add it to the quicktags so it pops up in a window and you just type in the color.
If you are using a LOT of color references in your text, then there is an alternative. In your style.css of your Theme, set up the typical colors you use in classes like this:
.blue {color:blue}
.red {color:red}
.green {color:green}
And using it like this:
Blah talking about <span class="blue">something in green</span> and then <span class="red">something in red</span>....
Then you don’t have to remember all the color codes like #4598h34 or whatever 😉 and only remember “green”, “red”, and so on.
