HTML5 does not specify presentation. It's expected that browsers will eventually display a color picker, like image-editing programs do. Something like this: http://www.colorpicker.com/ > "The input element represents a color well control, for setting the > element's value to a string representing a simple color." - HTML5 Draft > What does "String" means? Some letters/numbers/symbols. In this case, it needs to be in a format like "#00adff" or whatever. But this does not have to be presented to the user. When browsers implement this properly, the user will see a color picker. > I think implementing a <input type="color" value="0xff00ff00ff" /> or <input > type="color" value="255,255,255,1" /> or similar it's better than a internal > list. > The Universe has infinite colors.

It's supposed to be <input type=color value=#ff0000> or something. <input type=color value=red> is invalid. > I say we MUST have a color picker and a date picker (calendar).
