We can now draw basic shapes in our paint program. However, we still cannot change the colors of these shapes. Before we allow users to change colors, we must provide a way for them to select colors.
We will, therefore, provide a color chooser, letting the user select two different colors: the foreground color and the background color.

The code for create_color_palette is as follows (see code 6.05.py):
def create_color_palette(self):
self.color_palette = Canvas(self...
