(form controls or forms? I think this one is more DOM than Layout...)

I believe, it's worth to mention this in the compat data for the text color input and/or on the <input type="color"> page.

And it's probably also worth noting in the dev release notes and the general ones.

[Why is this notable]: Changes the picker for color inputs.
[Affects Firefox for Android]: no
[Suggested wording]: The OS color picker for <input type="color"> got replaced by an HTML-based version. This makes it consistent across platforms and lays the foundation for future extensions.

Ah, just read the post for the intent to prototype. So this is currently limited to desktop-only.

Probably will remain so in any foreseeable future, as there's no way to open a HTML popup in Fenix. Could be a PiP-like implementation maybe though.
