Input Type : Color

(Copied from http://www.html5tutorial.info/html5-color.php for training and demonstration purposes.)

In HTML5, we can have color input with simply <input type="color">. The textbox should only carry value of so called "simple color" string in lowercase such as #ff0000 for Red Color, #000000 for Black Color and #ffffff for White color.

<label for="background-color">Choose a calor for background :</label>
