The core color dialog can not be used easily from plug-ins since it is implemented in the core, not in libgimp. Of course there is more than one way how this could be changed and it is possible that we decide to go one of them later, but we have a working solution already: You can use DND between all color-pickers. The colorbutton used in Script-Fu is a DND source and target. So if you want a specific color and prefer the core colorselector, use it and drag the color over to the Script-Fu dialog. You can also right-click the colorbutton and use the menu which offers to import the foreground / background color. Salut, Sven
