For the ColorPickEdit control, you can customize additional color dialog settings from the RepositoryItemColorPickEdit.ColorDialogOptions property.

In the ColorEdit control, the color pick dialog can be invoked by right-clicking any box in the custom panel, which is initially empty. In code, you can access and modify the panel with the RepositoryItemColorEdit.CustomColors property.
In the ColorPickEdit control, the color pick dialog can be opened by clicking the More Colors… button. This button can be hidden with the RepositoryItemColorEdit.ShowMoreColorsButton option.
