Comment (by avryl):

 > Thinking the "live preview" inside the editor while selecting a
 color/dragging the handle is not needed. The text where the color is going
 to be applied is usually selected at this tile. That makes the "live
 preview" invisible. It also seems to make dragging of the handle to lag.
 If you decide to keep it, it will need to be wrapped in
 editor.undoManager.transact() so it doesn't add new undo level on every
 color change.

 Good point, completely forgot about the undoManager. Together with your
 first point, it would make sense to remove the "preview" and apply the
 colour after selecting one.

 > The tiny "color bar" under the icon in the button is intended to keep
 the last selected color value and apply it on clicking the button. It
 shouldn't change according to the current node's color.

 I've always found that confusing. When you put your cursor in a coloured
 node, I expect the colour to change. Right now putting your cursor in a
 coloured node updates the "saved colour", which you can then apply to
 uncoloured text. That way you can actually quickly switch between already
 used colours.

 > The CSS selectors need to be more specific so they don't override other
 instances of Iris.

 Okay. :)
