Description

In Ace.Editor there is a plugin to open ColorPicker in "code mode": https://github.com/easylogic/ace-colorpicker How could i use it or something the same in JsonEditor? In our project we decided not to use "tree mode", but only "code mode" for the necessary flexibility. But color selection is a welcome feature in "code mode".

Research direction
The issue requests integrating a color picker in code mode of JSONEditor using the existing Ace colorpicker plugin (https://github.com/easylogic/ace colorpicker). The repository uses Ace Editor for code editing. To implement, investigate how the Ace editor instance is initialized in JSONEditor's code mode (likely in src/js/ace.js or similar). The plugin can be added as an Ace extension. Check if there are any existing comments or maintainer guidance in the issue. Also, ensure the color picker works with the editor's theme and does not conflict with other functionality.
