Colorplane, a color picker for humans (made with canvas)

So you present me with a monochrome rectangle, and no idea of how I find the color I have in mind. So I scrub over the entire rectangle for several minutes just trying to get my bearings. Hmm, so I can find black but not white. Hmm, so there is a weird discontinuity between pink and orange.
Are "humans" not supposed to have favorite colors? Because if they start with a specific shade in mind, how are they supposed to find it without playing blind man's bluff for five minutes?
You have a color space implied by the cursor position in the rectangle - why not show the color at each location? Then I'll just go to the "magenta" area and click there. "Humans" want to see what they are picking - show the color space. Bad interfaces make you scrub all over them until you find the right knob or setting.
