Color Picker for Vim

[mvalviar]

Can anyone suggest a color picker plugin for vim? Gedit has a cool color picker plugin. I'm wondering if there is something similar for vim.

I've found and installed this: colorsel.vim (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=927)
It works, but it has two major downsides:
- no mouse support, using the arrows is slow and awkward
- it does not load the color from the place of the cursor in the file, nor does it directly change the color code (I have to copy/past it)
When running in X, it has in fact no advantege over external color pickers.
I wonder too if there is a better solution, something that could show and edit colors directly from (g)vim (it doesn't matter if it would be an external window). As far as I've looked, there's no such thing.
It would be helpful a lot for coding HTML/CSS.

If you are picking colors to look for a nice color scheme, then

provides a nice way to just scan for an attractive scheme.

I believe their looking for a plug-in that gives the hexadecimal values of colors so that they can paste it into their code.

There is a Python/GTK color picker for vim:
