Color picker
Feature Description
Color picker UI from launcher. >color similar to >emoji
Why Is This Needed?
Since Noctalia already has a color picker UI, it would be nice to be able to launch it from the launcher.
Also would be nice if it could also let us pick a color from the desktop (maybe using niri msg pick-color)
Suggested Solutions
Launch the existing color picker UI from a launcher > command
Launching the color picker from launcher or IPC would be a good and simple addition. @MrDowntempo
color picking from the desktop/compositor is a different matter, this might be out of scope unless we had new dependencies (grim and slurp) as this would need to work with all windows manager and not just niri.

I can only imagine an IPC command to open the color picker being useful if it had copy to clipboard functionality (which it doesn't currently, but could be implemented) and eyedropper functionality, (Which I don't think is possible through quickshell). Otherwise, almost any purpose built color picker (like Toinane/colorpicker ) would be more useful for a user.
This will not be added, there are tons of MUCH better options for color pickers based on the current image etc. We're not planning to reinvent the wheel.
