Floating Color Picker

Hi, guessing this may have already been suggested, but is it possible to get a floating color picker that can be resized and float in the viewport for people who want to paint their models within Blender, similar to the 3D Coat one?

Right now I am picking colors by clicking the swatches at the top of the viewport but the picker disappears and would like to have it permanently floating at times. Thanks

What's wrong with the Color Picker panel under Brush Settings ?

It's not "floating" but it's always there open, no need to go to the top pickers.

We do have eye dropper, to pick colours!!! Whats these for???

The eyedropper is used for picking a color visible on the screen. A color picker is used for making new colors, and its layout and inputs help in that process.

They are not a replacement for each other.
