The title says it all, really - I mainly want the very cool Mac OS X built-in color chooser instead of the dull Java one. If I could get a working solution for Windows too, that would be ideal - but I don't know if Windows actually HAS a standard color chooser.

You can do it, but it requires use of SWING and you will need special calls for Linux or Unix compatibility.

You can do this quite easily using a look-and-feel library and, as luck would have it, there is a great one available for free as Quaqua :
