Easier Theming in the ACP

MyBB could spend hours coding this colour picker in to the default version of MyBB, only for a themer to choose a colour then copy paste the same hex code for all instances he wants it - or MyBB can stay how it is, the devs don't have to code it in and the themer can still copy paste the hex code wherever he wants it.

Basically it's just coding in a colour picker - there's no point, where someone can use a online colour picker or paint, gimp or photoshop to get #ffffff and copy paste it in. It could be x number of lines added to MyBB and its load time to get #ffffff or keep it as <input type="textbox" /> for them to get #ffffff.

Waste of code, imho.

Is about 1/8 of a second of processing a huge deal for the convenience? XenForo has it, and I can't distinguish the speed difference whatsoever.

I am sorry to not link to mybb, but to support my point, see http://demo.xenforo.com/112/ . I customized it, and the only thing stopping an instant load is the like, +, and other social buttons.
The link will die in 2 days, btw.
