Does Not Work on Touch Devices

The color picker and numeric slider were not designed for mobile support.

Some people may still want to use the Thistle color picker. So I forked the project using the Color Picker JSColor instead, because I needed touch support.

You can view the fork at https://github.com/mikethedj4/Inlet if interested.

This is awesome! Great work.

I also prefer the JSColor UI. and on many occasions I experienced a bug in the Thistle color picker where if the lightness is 0 (black), the dot cannot be dragged out of the center. My only concern though is the restrictive JSColor Licensing. It looks like the author is charging $25 for a non GPL licensed version, and if you use the GPL licensed version, you may not use it in commercial code.

You may want to have a look at https://github.com/bgrins/spectrum . This is released under what looks like the MIT license, and also has mobile support.

I dislike Spectrum. I'm currently working on integrating JQuery MiniColors into Inlet. (Haven't figured out how to pass RGBA and HSLA into Inlet yet)

Thanks for working towards this! what do you mean by "pass into" in this case?
hsla should be supported via this regex https://github.com/enjalot/Inlet/blob/master/src/inlet.js#L343
but rgb needs to have it's regex improved to support rgba still.

is there a reason you closed this if you are still working on it?

I closed because the main objective was completed (thus porting a touch friendly color picker). Getting alpha transparency to work is a separate issue.
