You're right - overriding <background-color-view:> was unnecessary,
and actually gets in the way.
Just the following three lines (plus the js file for the plugin
itself, of course) gives working color-pickers for all fields on a
page with 'color' in their names
<javascript name="jquery.simple-color"/>
<script>
jQuery('input[name*="color"]').simpleColor();
</script>
Thanks, Bob! This was driving me nuts yesterday.
