NAME
       Tk::chooseColor - pops up a dialog box for the user to select a color.

SYNOPSIS
           $color = $widget->chooseColor?(-option=>value, ...)?;

DESCRIPTION
       The method chooseColor is implemented as a perl wrapper on the core tk
       "command" tk_chooseColor, and $widget is passed as the argument to the
       hidden -parent option.  The implementation of internal tk_chooseColor
       is platform specific, on Win32 it is a native dialog, and on UNIX/X11
       it is implemented in terms of Tk::ColorEditor.

       The chooseColor method pops up a dialog box for the user to select a
       color. The following option-value pairs are possible as command line
       arguments:

       -initialcolor=>color
           Specifies the color to display in the color dialog when it pops up.
           color must be in a form acceptable to the Tk_GetColor function.

       -parent=>$widget
           Makes $widget the logical parent of the color dialog. The color
           dialog is displayed on top of its parent window.

       -title=>titleString
           Specifies a string to display as the title of the dialog box. If
           this option is not specified, then a default title will be
           displayed.

       If the user selects a color, tk_chooseColor will return the name of the
       color in a form acceptable to Tk_GetColor.  If the user cancels the
       operation, the command will return undef.

EXAMPLE
        $widget->configure(-fg => $parent->chooseColor(-initialcolor => 'gray',
                                                       -title => "Choose color"));
