I know I can go to the CSS tab and edit the widget CSS, but I REALLY like the color picker that shows up when you create a new Widget. Is it possible to get back to that screen when editing a widget? I've poked around for an hour or so and haven't found it.

If it's not currently accessible once a widget has been saved, I'd like to make feature request to be able to access it as part of the editing process as it it makes it easy for me to visualize the color changes I would be making.

Now if only there were a really stellar Windows-based CSS editor out there I could use - anyone know where I might be able to get one?

( Just kidding NickB! It's just that I can't use TS at work which is why I'm asking for this feature )

Technically yes, you can get to the color picker again. But you would have to click the "Change Template" button at the bottom of the editor, which discards any html/css/javascript changes you manually made to the widget. So it is essentially like starting over.  It would probably be very difficult to add the color picker in the post customization environment, because you could have changed the "headline" or other basic elements in infinitely different ways, making it uncertain that we could reliably identify where the "headline" or other element is.

You can always open up the new widget creator in another window and use the color picker to get the hex value of the color you like.  Then paste that hex number into the css for the widget you are customizing.
