Absolute positioning has absolutely no influence on the HTML structure,
thus it will not affect a possible selector.
Because you are talking of ancestors I assume that's the problem here.
The second div is not an ancestor but a sibling of the other one.
Try:
prev('.color_view')
There was also missing a period in the class selector.
