The "button at the bottom" is actually an HTML input, with type="color", and if you dig into the TWCore "colour-picker" code ($:/core/macros/colour-picker), you will find this line: <$edit-text tiddler="$:/config/ColourPicker/New" type="color" tag="input"/> This creates the button you want. However... the actual appearance AND function of the color input depends your specific platform and browser. If your browser doesn't support the color button directly, it may render as a regular input field into which you can TYPE the color value. Of course, you should change the target tiddler name to the title of the tiddler in which you want the color selection to be stored. Unfortunately, this will only achieve half your desired goal. The problem is that the browser-supplied HTML control will ONLY write the chosen color using a CSS-compatible *hexadecimal* value (e.g., "#rrggbb"), rather than the comma-separated decimal R,G,B values you want.
