Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now Pika doesn’t allow tweaking/changing colors by any means. „Only“ picking colors.

I understand that the core vision of Pika is to be not too overcomplicated. But building a fully custom color panel isn’t necessary as Apple’s system color picker is already quite powerful. I believe adding a way to trigger the system color picker would be a big benefit without sacrificing too much.

Describe the solution you'd like
I could see that triggering the system color picker could be done via any or all of those ways:

  1. Right-click on the color
  2. Settings icon
  3. A dedicated button when hovering the color:

Once the system color picker is open it directly changes the given foreground or background color. Nothing more, nothing less. 😉

Describe alternatives you've considered
Other apps like Sindre Sorhus’ System Color Picker allow using the system color picker, but of course lack the clean and simple design and extra features of Pika that we like.

Okay, so, this is a genius idea that solves about 1,000,000 tiny problems with Pika, and you, @alexkaessner, are an absolute genius for making this issue.

Going to work on a beta version of this over the course of this week. Superhero.
