1The controls on web part properties are limited, you can only create simple controls like textbox, dropdowns, checkbox and buttons (I don't know if I miss another one)... So, I think you can make a simple color picker with dropdown controls... let me know if you need assistance on how to create these controls, but I would need to know the SP version and VS version. – agzertuche Jul 15 '14 at 20:53

Thanks for reply. What you suggest is to have simple color names in drop-down and then get color from its hex code through script ..right.! But I want to let users select proper color from color picker.! that will be more easy for us to choose colors more precisely. – Rajeev K Jul 17 '14 at 7:17
