This can be done with the list attribute (although it seems that using list with the color type input element is currently unsupported on Firefox).

The selection of colors should be configurable via settings.py.

By their very nature, the RGB values used in HTML consist of 3 bytes (octets) and are only represented by 6 characters.

Storing the character representation , rather than the actual value, is (ever so) slightly wasteful and I believe the overhead introduced by the conversion is (even more) negligible.

Changing this will require a migration, however, so it might not be worth it.

It appears the package, as published on PyPI, is missing the template subdirectory, which is needed for correct rendering of the input element, of course.

In the admin of models that use the color field, it's shown like a char field i.e. with a text type input field.

Oddly enough, the hash mark ("#") is displayed in the field, even though it's never stored in the DB.

A clue, perhaps?
