Color Fancy Attributes with Facet API

I'm looking for a way to display colors in my facet as colored squares as opposed to simple link text.
Like it's displayed in my add to cart form.

Funny how we never thought of that! Unfortunately, it's going to require a bit of custom code. To show the color blocks we add the "blocks" as descriptions using hook_form_alter() and use javascript to hide the actual radio form part and make the descriptions clickable.

I've added this request as a feature request on the main commerce_search_api module.

http://drupal.org/node/1943150 ... I hear there may be some movement on this request soon (no promises, but the Kickstart 2 lead really like this idea!)

Thanks a lot. The patch already provided is great.

But I don't succeed to make it work. I don't see any extra widget display in my facet's display settings. I just applyed the patch provided. Any idea, what else I missed ?

I should note for historical purposes that the new widget became a part of Commerce Search API 7.x-1.1
