Inspired and based on https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/918/ Improvements: - Supports natural keys - Uses Django's Collector so hopefully follows reverse relationships - Fixes problem when you don't specify a slice - PEP8 etc.

A simple model ColorField that allows picking from a predefined list (currently picked up from settings.py The widget displays as a row of coloured SPAN's with the hex code inside. Simply click to choose a color. (requires jQuery in the page assigned to it's normal $ shortcut. Easy to change this is you don't use jQuery in this way)
Add this to any admin changelist and your actions drop-down will be replaced with user-friendly buttons. Why mess around with templates and subclassing admin classes when you can just mangle the page with jQuery! ;-) It also adds a 'select all' label to explain the mystery top check-box (well it was a mystery to several of my clients). The line "if ($('div.actions option:gt(0)').length<=8)" checks that there aren't more than 8 actions and falls back to the drop-down if there are. Requires jQuery to be loaded.
