Is there a Color Picker Dialog?

Does anyone know if there is an accessible Color Picker Dialog in VB.NET,
similar to the one in the VS HTML page designer? It has a nice range of web
specific colours and palettes. The standard color dialog is quite basic.

Alternatively, is there a good third party one?

TIA

This one is quite nice IMO. I took what Ken Getz did and added an alpha
channel bar.

Thanks Justin. I've just had a play and it looks very good. I could possibly
adapt it, but I was looking for one that, in particular, shows the web
palette with names: AliceBlue, Chiffon, etc. I don't suppose you have come
across one like that?

Thanks

Thanks Herfried

Most of them seem to be for web applications rather than windows forms, but
I will keep looking.

Cheers

I have an application that I built to test out using the color stuff in VB.
I posted it on my web site at:
http://home.swbell.net/gar-car/sourcecode.html. Select the Color Browser
download. Let me know if it does the trick.

Regards,
Gary

Hi guys, I don't know how Hotmail and Gmail pulls it off, but when you need to attach a file to your email, you just click a linkbutton and a file picker pops up.
