Order the color panel out

We all know this will bring the color panel forwards: [[NSApplication sharedApplication] orderFrontColorPanel:nil];, but how to hide it again? I tried orderOutColorPanel:, but it does not work.

As of in 2016. There is a method. in Swift 3, you can toggle NSColorPanel like this:

func toggleColorPanel(_ sender: NSButton) {
  if /*NSColorPanel.sharedColorPanelExists() &&*/ NSColorPanel.shared().isVisible {
        NSColorPanel.shared().orderOut(self)
    } else {
        NSApplication.shared().orderFrontColorPanel(self)
    }
}

When in doubt, use brute force:

- (void)hideColorPanel {
    NSArray * wndws = [NSApp windows];
    for( NSWindow * w in wndws ){
        if( [w isKindOfClass:[NSColorPanel class]] ){
            [w orderOut:nil];
            break;
        }
    }
}

You are correct. There is no method on NSApplication to close the color panel. It is intended that the user will have control over the panel once it is shown.
