This works really good!  See first screenshot..
This is what I did to get it loaded in Opera.
I unzipped the 3 posted files into a directory that I named "color-picker"
(I left the directory structure intact that was in each zip file)
In opera, I navagated to to "start.html" and opened it. (this is inside the "color_scheme" folder)

On my Z, this is located here:
/hdd3/Documents/Web_Files/color-picker/color_scheme/start.html

OK, here is a really good tip, I'll pass along about Opera about navagating the filesystem.
If you use the "open local file" menu option in Opera, it takes ages to load, and it also takes forever to FIND your file. This is because the above option scans your entire system and HDD for files. It's hard to find a specific file, because, all files on your Zaurus are in one long list.
This is what I did to shorten this process substantially.
in the address bar in Opera, type this:
file:///hdd3/Documents
or this:
file//localhost/hdd3/Documents

After the file browser opened in Opera, I made a bookmark of it.
Now if I want to browse my filesystem, I just click that bookmark and the results are shown in the second screenshot below.  

EDIT: Cresho, this is really fantastic!  Much better than the online color page I posted previously.
Everything works just as it is supposed to. The Lighten/Darken scheme works great too!
Switching colors, by clicking on the large boxes or the color bar at bottom, is instantaneous!
It's really amazing that this little app/program works so swiftly, when there are lots of other programs for the Zaurus that are slow and cumbersome..
