System Information
Operating system and graphics card
Win 8.1 and Mac OSX 10.9.1

Blender Version
blender-2.69 fcb0609 OSX
& build form 2014-02-13 at home on my Win machine

Worked: (optional)
I don´t know exactly but I will recall it has not always behaved like this.

Short description of error
The Color Picker asumes the size of the Node Editor area size, which makes working in a very zoomed out state
unnecessary straining. Quite often you want to overview the node tree and just change color values here and there to see the result.
This forces you to zoom in just to get the accuracy when color picking.

(it doesn´t matter what type of color picker you use, I use SV+H, but the issue is for them all even Circle)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

go into comp nodes
click on a color input, get Color Picker
now zoom out a lot, do same thing and see the size.

optimal behaviour, Color Picker has a minimum width/height, but no maximum. (some folks might wanna zoom in crazy much to get a really large colorpicker)
optional behaviour, Color Picker has a set size independent of node editor view zoom.
