UIMenuController with a set of colored button

Question

I have a requirement - in an application i'm currently developing - to show a list of colors upon clicking on a button so the user can select a single color out of the list. I strongly believe the best way to this would be to have a UIMenuController popup - just like you'd see the copy/cut/paste menu in iphone - and show the list of colors in that menu. However I do not wish to show the color names in the menu, instead I would love to have the buttons colored. But I'm still unable to see a way to do this.

Any help is much appreciated.

The closet thing i have found to do this is a custom popover that allows customization of colors called JSMenuController. It is open-source and can be found here:

The only downside is that as far as I can tell, all the buttons must have the same color, although this can be any color of your choice. But possibly with a look inside their code you might be able to modify it to have different colors for each button.
