The problem is that IE does not support input elements with type "color".  For now have removed this page from the settings if the client is IE (commit: http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=77836e513839e03eb731eabb2a90a7cf6209aa73 ).  A proper fix will be to either implement a custom color-picking solution for IE, or wait for it to become supported in a future IE release.

The commit is pushed to master ( http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=fd6d8864109757e1caba77703adecccb44cf8dd4 ) followed by another commit with some small tweaks ( http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=fb607a622108525f5b6a3eec77517af6a6abca56 ).

As a side note I had a hard time getting Gerrit to do the commit because there was a conflict, so I ended up not going through Gerrit ultimately.  So I've removed the Gerrit links from this report and have abandoned them.

Lastly, logged follow-up Bug 461604 - [IE only] editor styles page accepts and persists invalid colour strings .
