Solution 1

You can use input element to have a color picker on your page.
Something like following

HTML

<input type='color' />

Note: Check browser support for HTML5

Thanks :)

Browser support isn't too bad, with IE and Safari the only notable holdouts:
Can I use... Color input type[^]

There's even a polyfill available:

However, the native UI in Firefox, Chrome and Opera on Windows is awful. MS Edge is significantly better.

For a decent and consistent UI, you probably still do need a plugin.
