This is one of the major functionalities I use from kcolorchooser about 10-20 
times a day. When I want to pick a color, I can not see why I should open 
menus for this in a Color dialog.

agree

Weird is not the right expression. IMHO it is unusable except for the person 
who programmed it. Without some theoretic background on the HSV scheme there 
is no way to understand this dialog. And it sure is no standalone app. Or for 
what is that Replace part?   

When I need to read the manual to use a color chooser, we are doing something 
wrong. 

Just my 2ct as a daily user of kcolorchooser.
