colorPicker and colors

An advanced, fast but small (46.9KB, 19.9KB gZip) javaScript (only, framework independent) color picker (or color chooser for desktop use) that uses only one javaScript (.js) file (no extra HTML, CSS, images, etc... on IE9+ and internet browsers).
ColorPicker works in all browsers incl. IE6+ (an extra CSS has to be made to make it work in IE6 though and some additional setTimeout tricks to make it work in IE5.5)
colorPicker.js uses colors.js, a small but comprehensive tool for color conversions / calculations (WCAG 2.0, contrast, color difference, layer mix, etc.)...

With colors.js (~8.7k or way smaller if other color spaces and complex calculations are taken out...) you can also build your own simpler and / or smaller color pickers quite easy as demonstrated on the demo page.
colors.js can convert 182 different combinations of color spaces (rgb2HSV, RGB2hsl, rgb2RGB, HEX2Lab, ...)

##Demo See demo at dematte.at/cpn

I will soon add some implementation examples (for jQuery, ...)

All the WCAG 2.0 calculations for readability are also based on opacity levels of all layers
Supported color spaces are: (* also displayed as colors in realtime)
rgb *, hsv(b) *, hsl *, cmyk, cmy, Lab, XYZ, HEX

##colors.js

var myColors = new Colors({ // all options have a default value...
    color: 'rgba(204, 82, 37, 0.8)', // initial color (#RGB, RGB, #RRGGBB, RRGGBB, rgb(r, g, b), ...)
    XYZMatrix: ..., // Observer = 2° (CIE 1931), Illuminant = D65  --- see source for dedtails
    XYZReference: ..., // back reference to XYZMatrix --- see source for dedtails
    grey: {r: 0.298954, g: 0.586434, b: 0.114612}, // CIE-XYZ 1931
    luminance: {r: 0.2126, g: 0.7152, b: 0.0722}, // W3C 2.0
    valueRanges: {rgb: {r: [0, 255], g: [0, 255], b: [0, 255]}, hsv:...}, // skip ranges if no conversion required
    customBG: '#808080' // the solid bgColor behind the chosen bgColor (saved color)
    convertCallback: function(colors, type){}, // callback function after color convertion for further calculations...
    allMixDetails: false // if set to true, Colors deliveres some more mixed layer informations for all color layers
});

##colorPicker.js

colorPicker uses an instance of Colors and passes the options to it, so some values are the same...

var myColorPicker = new ColorPicker({
    color: ..., // see Colors...
    mode: 'rgb-b', // initial mode the color picker is starting with
    fps: 60, // the framerate colorPicker refreshes the display if no 'requestAnimationFrame'
    delayOffset: 8, // pixels offset when shifting mouse up/down inside input fields before it starts acting as slider
    CSSPrefix: 'cp-', // the standard prefix for (almost) all class declarations (HTML, CSS)
    size: 0, // one of the 4 sizes: 0 = L (large), 1 = S, 2 = XS, 3 = XXS; resize to see what happens...
    allMixDetails: true, // see Colors...
    alphaBG: 'w' // initial 3rd layer bgColor (w = white, c = custom (customBG), b = black);
    customBG: '#808080' // see Colors...
    noAlpha: true, // disable alpha input (all sliders are gone and current alpha therefore locked)
    cmyOnly: false, // display CMY instead of CMYK
    memoryColors: [{r: 100, g: 200, b: 10, a: 0.8}, ...] // array of colors in memory section
    opacityPositionRelative: undefined, // render opacity slider arrows in px or %
    customCSS: undefined, // if external stylesheet, internal will be ignored...
    appenTo: document.body, // the HTMLElement the colorPicker will be appended to on initialization
    noRangeBackground: false, // performance option: doesn't render backgrounds in input fields if set to false
    textRight: false, // not supported yet. Make numbers appear aligned right
    noHexButton: false, // button next to HEX input could be used for some trigger...
    noResize: false, // enable / disable resizing of colorPicker
    noRGBr: false, // active / passive button right to RGB-R display. Disables rendering of 'real' color possibilities...
    noRGBg: false, // same as above
    noRGBb: false, // same as above
    CSSStrength: 'div.', // not in use
    XYZMatrix: ..., // see Colors...
    XYZReference: ..., // see Colors...
    grey: ..., // see Colors...
    luminance: ..., // see Colors...
    devPicker: false // uses existing HTML instead of internal template for developing
    renderCallback: function(colors, mode){}, // callback on after rendering (for further rendering outside colorPicker)
    actionCallback: function(e, action){}, // callback on any action within colorPicker (buttons, sliders, ...)
    convertCallback: function(colors, type){}, // see Colors...
});

##The color model, the methods and more

After initializing Color or ColorPicker you'll get a clean but rhich model of the instance:

myColors: {
    colors: { all kinds of color values...  see later},
    options: { all the options you set or that are set as default... },
    __proto__: { // all methods Color uses
        setColor: function(newCol, type, alpha) {},
        getColor: function(type) {},
        setCustomBackground: function(col) {},
        saveAsBackground: function() {},
        convertColor: function(color, type) {} // converts 182 different combinations
    }
}
myColorPicker: {
    color: { // instance of Color inside colorPicker
        colors: { all kinds of color values... see later},
        options: { all the options you set or that are set as default... },
        __proto__: { all methods Color uses ... see above}
    },
    nodes: { all kinds of cashed nodes, textNodes and styles, etc... },
    __proto__: { // all methods ColorPicker uses
        setColor: function(newCol, type, alpha, forceRender) {},
        startRender: function(oneTime) {},
        stopRender: function() {},
        setCustomBackground: function(col) {},
        saveAsBackground: function() {},
        setMode: function(mode) {},
        destroyAll: function() {}
    }
}

The klass ColorPicker has some functions attached, used inside, exported for convenience...

ColorPicker.addEvent = function(obj, type, func){}; // with built in cashe
ColorPicker.removeEvent = function(obj, type, func){};
ColorPicker.getOrigin = function(elm){};
ColorPicker.limitValue = function(value, min, max){};
ColorPicker.changeClass = function(elm, cln, newCln){}; // a bit tricky to use...

If allMixDetails in options is set to true you'll get the following color model

HEX: // current color as HEX (upper case, 6 digits)
rgb: // current RGB color as normalized values (0 - 1)
    r: // red
    g: // green
