Summary: Color picker cursor/pointer should start in the center of the color grid/square

URL: https://sm-weave-proxy01.services.mozilla.com/upload

The color picker for both "Text Color" and "Accent Color" always seems to start in some corner (usually lower left or upper right), which is annoying, since I have to drag it out from there to even use it.

IMHO, it should start in the center.

Step to Reproduce:

1. Load https://sm-weave-proxy01.services.mozilla.com/upload, get through the licensing agreements
2. Click on either "Accent Color" or "Text Color" textfields.

Notice the pointer's position in the lower left.

this is annoying, but the easy work-around is to simply click in the box without dragging the color-picker. we should fix this at some point, but not a blocker for this release.

If the cursor started in the middle, it would default to a red/grey color, which I don't think we should default to. 

I did just add functionality where you can click anywhere in the palette and the selector will move there. This fixes the issue of needing to drag the selector.

Unless anyone has any big complaints/issues, I want to close this bug.

Talked with Stephen, no complaints about current functionality, closing.

Verified FIXED; now that clicking--rather than having to drag--works to select a color, this is fine.
