You'll hate this, but this MOD has been around for a long, long time and has both 216 web safe colors and another pallette with even more colors. It also displays the color next to the setting on the admin_config_colors.asp page.
You can get it at http://www.skepticfriends.org/download/color_picker_MOD.zip
I didn't create it. I just modified it when 3.3.03 came out.

Rob, look on the left hand navigation menu. Pick "Mod Exchange"
@tomic, but it doesn't make it easy to put Gifs in the header rows, or give you color previews on config_colors.asp

Whoops missed the part about header rows. But there is a preview actually on the far right side. Whichever of these anyone uses is sure to please but Snitz should add it to the default install. Dealing with colors is too much hassle without it.

The method I used to get the gifs in the headers is truly a hack. It relys on the HTML being fully 4.01 complient. There are a few pages that need somt "s added before it will work flawlessly.

SetConfigValue is a function in inc_functions.asp. You might be missing that function.
Her eis some discussions on this function.

Freddy might be using an earlier version of the forum. SetConfigValue is used in the current version of forums and won't be compatible with earlier version and should not be used with earlier version of forums. here is Link though.

Your right, it shouldn't say all versions.

I'm sorry, could someone tell me how the BASE BACKGROUND IMAGE, CATEGORY BACKGROUND IMAGE and HEADER BACKGROUND IMAGE is written to the database? I don't see corresponding entries in the FORUM_CONFIG table.
I didn't see any instructions for changing the tables.
I can't get this mod to work properly. As soon as I enter the page, I get errors on these lines:
<span id="previewPageBgImage" style="background-image: url('<%=strPageBgImage%>');" align="absmiddle"> </span>
...probably because strPageBgImage = ""
When I try to set the CATEGORY BACKGROUND IMAGE to something like"images\Skins\2nzInk_A\BGs\BG10.jpg"
and I come back to the page it is still set to none, and I keep getting the error.

Nowhere in this mod (and as far as I know in version 3.3.03) is a style tag used. Has your forum been converted to CSS?
The values are stored in the forum_config table.

Ok... I fixed the error on:
<span id="previewPageBgImage" style="background-image: url('<%=strPageBgImage%>');" align="absmiddle"> </span>
Visual InterDev was sticking in some " and > symbols... f#*&@ !!!
Anyway... so when I enter a value in any of the new fields (BASE BACKGROUND IMAGE, CATEGORY BACKGROUND IMAGE and HEADER BACKGROUND IMAGE), they never come back when I re-enter the page... it always says "none".
And where do these values get written? Only in the cookie?
What is the syntax for putting this information in the field correctly? Is something like this ok? images\Skins\2nzInk_A\BGs\BG10.jpg

Really? I copied and pasted this from the admin_config_colors.asp page that came from this mod. I just went back to the zip file that I downloaded from http://www.ls3k.com/snitz/mods.asp?action=details&ID=15 and opened that file to double check it. Perhaps you should revisit your code?
Now I know why there are no instructions concerning the database table. You look to see if there is a an "image" value, and if there is, you append this to the "color" value and then write that to the existing table fields.... correct?
For some reason it is not writing this in my case... my database fields are not being changed. (Although it congratulates me on changing my configuration!)
Any ideas?
