Follow those instructions, and you'll get an application that does
nothing but display the apple color picker.  There's also a link in
there to a hex color picker plugin that will give you hex codes for
all the colors, which you can paste into BBEdit.

This isn't as nice as if there palette were built-in, but it works fine.


I posted a comment to that thread way back in April about a way I use
BBEdit.  Quoting myself:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I hacked together this script about a year ago for use in BBEdit. I
wanted to be able to modify a hex color at any place in a script
(BBEdit will only do it for predefined things such as in CSS styles or
bgcolor attributes).

Since I do most of my work in scripting languages and not just plain
HTML, I typically have a variable name specifying the color like this:

$color = '#facade';

I can double click on the color string which selects all of the text
without the #, then call my applescript which is tied to a keyboard
shortcut. It brings up a color picker with the selected color already
chosen. I usually then modify it with the HSB controls. When I click
the OK button, the hex code on the page is replaced with the hex code
for the newly selected color.

If you're interested, the script is here:

Hope it helps someone here.
