			==Note==
			As [[User:Exawatt\|Exawatt]] stated, ColorPickerFrame:SetColorRGB(R, G, B) will execute ColorPickerFrame.func
			This is very important when you're reusing ColorPickerFrame with another callback function. In that case make sure you set the new callback before you call SetColorRGB(R, G, B)

			==Limitations==
			[[File:ColorPickerTools.jpg\|320px\|right\|thumb\|ColorTools.]]
			The color picker has three main limitations:
			*You have no way to know exactly which color is chosen (no color code)
			*You can't copy color values from one instance of the color picker to another one
			*You cannot move the color picker in case it obscures another underlying frame

			All these problems are solved with the addon [http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/colortools.aspx ColorTools ].

			The ColorPickerFrame is already defined by Blizzard. You can display it by simply calling: ColorPickerFrame:Show()

			However, displaying it is not enough if you want it to have any functionality. So, you also need to define the following three functions:
			* ColorPickerFrame.func()
			* ColorPickerFrame.opacityFunc()
			* ColorPickerFrame.cancelFunc()

	When you want to prompt the user to select a color, you need to assign your own callback functions to the ColorPickerFrame variables, set the currently selected color to your previous value, and show the ColorPickerFrame.
