Depending on the use case, having a nice finger-friendly color palette
could be *much* better than letting the user fine-tune the colors. I think
most color-choosing tasks (e.g. in Conboy) are not about getting some
really specific shade of green, but just getting a "cute" color that happens
to be green. A nice palette with beautiful colors can help here.

I propose a dialog with finger-usable buttons that just has the colors of the
Tango Color Palette in it:

Give the users less choice and more sane defaults ;) You can always add
that "Advanced" button with a hex entry field for the nerds later on.
