Select color programmatically

[yintothayang]

Is there a way I can select a color programmatically? just changing the $.val() does not change the color in the preview.

You need to call updatePreview to update the color of square preview to the right. Since updatePreview is not exposed, I've created a version of pick-a-color with this possibility:

See fiddle here to demo:

This solution sets the color of the preview but does not actually set the values of the H/S/L.

I ended up needing to set them programmatically, so I made the changes here:#81
