[Feature] 🎨 Color Picker 🎨

Using an external color picker is annoying and VS Code’s built-in picker is restricted to text editing:

Priorities:

• Implement a color picker view
• Make every attempt to mirror VS Code’s overall design and style.
• Respond to user activity (ex: color-picker updates to reflect the color of a selected element).
• Add CodeUI extension settings/commands where appropriate

Additional context

Use color-picker branch for work on this feature.

Updates

• (12/1/21): The color picker now updates to reflect selection in the Elements view. Thinking about a reversed, toggle-able, “paint” mode where you can apply the picker’s colour to elements just by clicking on them.

• (12/10/2020) : New approach. Added a statusBarItem that updates according to the hex and hue of the selection. Triggers copy-to-clipboard command on click. Removes any need to clutter the view with more widgets. Also, looks pretty cool.

• (12/09/2020): Simple copy-to-clipboard functionality added. Not the minimum-viable-product we need, but a start. Very interested in help/feedback. Two rules, though! 1) no frumpy webview abuse and 2) keep it simple 😃

• (11/27/2020) : A new view ‘Color’ with a picker has been added. No way to access the selection yet.
