New color picker options and revamped usability

With CartoDB's authoring tool you can select the color for your point markers polygons text etc. Up to now we offered a set of predefined colors. With this change now you have our set of carefully selected colors plus the possibility of selecting any color from the new color picker on top of being able to paste the HEX code of your color (or even write it if you are that type of person).

And this is not all: if you edit your CartoCSS you also take advantage of the color picker and of the previsualization of your color in the code. Just watch:
