I like how minimalistic this control is (though having larger colors or 
a magnifier like you suggest would help a lot too; I thought the squares 
were too small to easily and quickly be able to select a particular 
color while standing up at a computer in front of a class with a mouse 
that was a jumpy :).  There are other options for a full-featured color 
picker, if that is what is wanted.  For example, in Sage, we include the 
following color pickers:
