 custom colours.

 That's one of the reasons I think it is better to use the OS color picker
 with `<input type="color">`. It would also integrate better with the
 default TinyMCE picker.

 On the other hand the plugin is quite good, you should definitely add it
 to the plugin repository.

 Few notes:
 - It's a bit unclear what happens after the user has selected a color by
 dragging the "handle". Would be good to have "OK" or "Apply" button.
 - The tiny "color bar" under the icon in the button is intended to keep
 the last selected color value and apply it on clicking the button. It
 shouldn't change according to the current node's color.
 - Thinking the "live preview" inside the editor while selecting a
 color/dragging the handle is not needed. The text where the color is going
 to be applied is usually selected at this tile. That makes the "live
 preview" invisible. It also seems to make dragging of the handle to lag.
 If you decide to keep it, it will need to be wrapped in
 `editor.undoManager.transact()` so it doesn't add new undo level on every
 color change.
 - The CSS selectors need to be more specific so they don't override other
 instances of Iris.
