Yeah, this is what I thought too.. So probably pop up is the best at the

so when does the popup pop? Is it when I hover on a colour? Or using the
'color' button?

Transparent background is not possible, there is a Qt bug and I hit this bug
2 months ago.

i created a little mockup, see attachment..

We can do this by pressing a key. I am not sure what you mean by move by
hue/saturation though. I am not sure how to show complementary colours
either... (What algorithm to do this?)

We don't have to be original :P
