Sample applet color picker

Question

I am looking for an applet code for color picker (chooser). I'd like to have a color spectrum bar and a brightness/saturation square. Thanks.

But for what you specified, here's an idea.
Make a loop that will run through the pixels of a JPanel which has an area of 100x100 px, which sets the color appropriately to the instance of a Color class, with a specified RBG code.
Then, set the mouse event listener to figure out where you clicked, and set the current color to what is there.
Also, on the right, you could include three bars to adjust the red, blue, and green to their own levels using a javax.swing.JSlider.
To make it obvious which color you specified, make the pixels around it highlighted in black.
Oh yes, it may be easier if you originally made the loop that will draw the image, then used Shift>PrintScrn to copy the image into a file, then later set the image through setIcon() to contain that.
You may also want a "sample" color bar.
