[tw5] Color Button from Color Palette in TW5?

[Tiddly Novice]

Hello,
I'm new to TiddlyWiki and I need some help. A lot of help, in fact. But for
clarity, I'll try to keep it to one problem per post unless told to do
otherwise.

Problem #1:

Background: I'm trying to create a button that can be used to assign a
color to a known field of a tiddler. The button should end up being colored
like the last button visible in the color palette macro once the color has
been picked.

Problem: I can't figure out how to get the button used to open the popup to
get changed to the color chosen in the palette.

<$button popup=<<qualify "colorcal_">>>Pop me up!</$button>

<$reveal type="popup" state=<<qualify "colorcal_">>>

<div class="tc-popup-keep">

! This is the popup

Colour: <$edit-text tiddler='$:/_MyColour' tag='input'

placeholder='(unset)' default=''/>
---
<$macrocall $name='colour-picker' actions="
<$action-setfield $field=<<qualify colorfield1_>>
$tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> $value=<<colour-picker-value>>/>
"/>
</div>

</$reveal>

I also don't know how best to post my code here. First time I've used
Google Groups to ask about code.

Tiddly novice,

Welcome to the community. On Posting in the onlin forum, ues the { } button
once selecting some code to add it as code

\define colour-swatch() @@color:{{!!colour}};⚫@@
<<colour-swatch>> Colour: <$edit-text field='colour' tag='input' placeholder
='(unset)' default='' class="tc-edit-texteditor"/>

<details><summary>__Select colour__</summary>

---

<$macrocall $name='colour-picker' actions="


<$action-setfield $tiddler=<<editTiddler>> $field='colour'
$value=<<colour-picker-value>>/>


"/>
</details>

Above is a color selector I used previously, with help from others, or was
that in tiddlywiki itself. colour is a special field in TiddlyWiki, its
existence is displayed as a colour in edit mode. Just add the field to any
tiddler (note English spelling)

Modify as you wish

Regards
Tony
