The problem is caused by the alpha channel of KIGFX::COLOR4D being
initialised to 0. This causes the color pickers to be invisible if the
alpha channel is not set. I sent a patch for this in a separate thread.

macOS is actually the only platform where the color picker behaves
correctly XD. Ubuntu Unity and Windows seem to just ignore the alpha
channel (did not test on any other platforms).

Thanks Jon for having a look into this issue.
Using alpha channel in wxImage+wxBitmap creates issues( not visible cursors
and axis outside the
palettes, and incorrect color of cursors)

I removed the alpha channel.

Please, can you test this patch on macOS ?

Thanks.
