Achieve color picker in Office ribbon control

Question

I'm developing my first add in in Sharepoint for office 2013.

I cant find a way to add a color picker without opening a dialogue box.

I want the color picker in the ribbon, like in the MS-Paint.

There is no such control. The Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) does provide a limited set of controls that you can use for custom UI in Office add-in. You can read more about the Ribbon UI in the following series of articles in MSDN:

I ended up updating the designer.cs class. adding the required buttons via code in constructor.
