Menu
I'm looking for a (preferably free) component for Delphi for users to easily select about 100 different colours.
I've currently got one as part of DevExpress's editors, but it only has about 20 proper colours to choose, with a bunch of other 'Windows' colours like clHighlight, clBtnFace, etc.
It's for regular users, so would like to avoid requiring them to manually select RGB values.
Something similar to the colour picker in MS Paint might work, or something that lists X11/web colours:

So, please let me know if you got any recommendations.
Thanks for the suggestions from everyone
All of the suggestions were good, I didn't realise the MS Paint colour dialog can be called, that's all I needed and is the simplest solution. Thanks

A color picker is used to select and adjust color values. In graphic design and image editing, users typically choose colors via an interface with a visual representation of a color—organized with quasi-perceptually-relevant hue, saturation and lightness dimensions (HSL) – instead of keying in alphanumeric text values.
To add a color picker in an HTML page, use an <input> tag with type = 'color' . The initial value can be set using the value property. This value needs to be set in hexadecimal because colors are represented as six-digit hexadecimal values following a hashtag ( # ).
Use the eyedropper tool The eyedropper tool allows you to select and sample colors from any object or image in a file. Use the eyedropper to identify colors and apply them to your layers.
Delphi Gems' Color Picker control, maybe?

What's wrong with the TColorDialog?
It gives you the standard Windows color dialog, exactly the same as in MSPaint...
Add these options to show it directly expanded and with all colors available.
object ColorDialog1: TColorDialog
Options = [cdFullOpen, cdAnyColor]
end
