I understand the need, but feel that all the various color pickers I've 
seen are pretty complicated (eg the wheel in Gimp, or the Square in Gimp).

Why not extend the idea of a rainbow further and actually making the color 
picker a rainbow? (Rainbow shaped, the kid clicks somewhere on the rainbow 
and picks a color)

You could even adjust the brightness of the color picked by having a 
little Sun next to the rainbow with a cloud that could be dragged across 
it to adjust how bright it is (you know, if you wanted to extend this 
whole analog color control concept a bit further)

I'm just thinking aloud... I know this could be hard to do ;-)
