<title>Description</title>
<para>
This widget provides color selection facilities to your application.
The widget appears as a button which contains a "color swatch" of the
currently selected color. When the button is pressed, the widget
presents the user with a color selection dialog where the color can be
selected. </para>

<para>You can select the color to be displayed in a number of ways:
floating point values for the red, green and blue channels,
integers in the range 0 to 65,535, or integers in the range 0 to 255,
depending on your needs.</para>

<para>
Creates a new GNOME color picker widget. This returns a widget in the form of a small button
containing a swatch representing the current selected color. When the button is clicked,
a color-selection dialog will open, allowing the user to select a color. The swatch will be
updated to reflect the new color when the user finishes.</para>
