Could you add the color type to the validation story as well?

Any reason why we had to expose this, instead of just reusing ColorPicker, or maybe even using <input type="color">? It looks off because of missing styles, too. I don't think we should be exporting random subcomponents like this with no plan, it's not tenable.

There were some layout and focus style issues on the color indicator button I wanted to report, but the approach would differ if we were to use an <input type="color"> instead. Was @WordPress/gutenberg-design involved in the spec of this control? I think we should be more deliberate in the design here, since it's going to be a standard color input for the system. cc @WordPress/gutenberg-components
There is also already a similar design in BorderControl:

I think I saw some mockups like this but never a full spec. Leveraging the native input is worth exploring, but I think we'd still need our own UI to support things like Alpha, unless we had a separate input for that?
