Answer 1

yes,

Wordpress uses the Iris colorpicker , and if you will go to it´s page you will see all the methods and options ..

Basically , you add this :

 palettes: ['#e5003d','#A6FF4C','#757584','#99CCFF','#00c1e8','#111111','#ECECFB']

to your option when initializing the object ..

    jQuery('#my-ID .my-color-picker-class').each(function(){
        jQuery(this).wpColorPicker({
            // you can declare a default color here,
            // or in the data-default-color attribute on the input
            //defaultColor: false,

            // a callback to fire whenever the color changes to a valid color
            change: function(event, ui){},
            // a callback to fire when the input is emptied or an invalid color
            clear: function() {},
            // hide the color picker controls on load
            hide: true,
            // set  total width
            width : 200,
            // show a group of common colors beneath the square
            // or, supply an array of colors to customize further
            palettes: ['#444444','#ff2255','#559999','#99CCFF','#00c1e8','#F9DE0E','#111111','#EEEEDD']
        });

All this of course if you code your own custom field..

If you use some plugin or such - It will depend on that plugin mechanism ..
