input type=color vs. type=file in various scenarios

As with other types of inputs, color inputs can be activated by calling their `HTMLElement.click()` method. However, invoking `inputElement.click()` immediately after creating the `inputElement` DOM element and attaching it to the document tree has no effect. Other types of inputs (e.g. `file`) works well even in this scenario.

In the attached test case:

A. Open existing input element with immediate `click()` — works for both `file` and `color` types;
B. Open existing input element with delayed `click()` —  works for both `file` and `color` types;
C. Create input element as part of gesture, immediate `click()` — works for `file` type but NOT `color` type;
D. Create input element as part of gesture, delayed `click()` — works for both `file` and `color` types.

In other words:

* color inputs don't work in scenario C, although it seems they should;
* color inputs can be made to work by delaying the `click()` call with `window.setTimeout(() => { inputEl.click(); }, 0)`.
