uploaded an aur package based on the fork andykluger mentioned.

I forked this fork such that "oneshot" and "quit on keypress" are always true, and the flag "-c" can be used to copy the result to clipboard.

piping this into something only prints once it exits, i'm trying to get it to show a notification every time a color is selected, one fix would be to use /bin/script -qefc "/bin/colorpicker" /dev/null instead of just /bin/colorpicker but it's long and tedious

It looks like the best maintained fork now lives at https://github.com/ym1234/colorpicker -- that's the one linked from https://github.com/sdushantha/farge

Maybe you can get your preview feature merged into that one?

EDIT: the linked fork has also reduced dependencies.
