Example moodleform class

Assume your moodleform class is in local/my_plugin/forms/my_form.php, "colorpicker" folder is stored in the same folder, so we have:

local/my_plugin/forms/colorpicker/colorpicker.php

<?php
global $CFG;

require_once $CFG->libdir . "/formslib.php";
require_once __DIR__ . '/colorpicker/colorpicker.php';
MoodleQuickForm::registerElementType('colorpicker', __DIR__ . '/colorpicker/colorpicker.php', 'MoodleQuickForm_colorpicker');

class my_form extends moodleform {
	public function definition() {
		$mform = $this->_form;

		$mform->addElement('colorpicker', 'my_color', get_string('my_color', 'local_my_plugin'));
		$mform->setType('my_color', PARAM_TEXT);

		$this->add_action_buttons();
	}
