    To render nicely in the Django admin I added these lines to the bottom:

.form-row div .color_picker {
float:left;
}

8 years since this was posted, and I just used it. Works perfectly, thanks!

Just an update for the css hack, the class selector should be :

.form-row div .color_picker {
  float:left;
}

#

ppython (on March 20, 2017):

.form-row div .colorPicker-picker instead of .form-row div .color_picker
