ColorPicker
Derives from Control
The ColorPicker is an editor that allows a user to pick a color from predefined color palettes. By default, there are 140 available colors and 10 predefined standard colors. You can use your own custom color palettes by setting the AvailableColors and StandardColors properties accordingly. You can also get/set the recently used colors by using the RecentColors property.
