I've been using a frontScript for that, trapping preOpenStack so I can 
adjust the loc of the dialog before it's rendered.

But here we find that this is a very different problem:

The color pickers Mark linked to can be good starting points, and you 
may also consider using a color picker stack with the popup command - 
small-sized stacks work great as graphical popup menus, and getting the 
mouseColor during the click to dismiss it should give you what you need 
with minimal code.
