Allow kelvin in Color constructor

[RyanMcDonald]

I've created a color temperature picker React component that wraps iro, and my React component would be used something like this:

const [kelvin, setKelvin] = useState(6500);
<ColorTemperaturePicker color={kelvin} onChange={setKelvin} />

In my ColorTemperaturePicker implementation, it's just slightly inconvenient to have to convert my kelvin value back to RGB so that iro.Color can use it:

// color comes from component props
new iro.ColorPicker(el, {
  color: iro.Color.kelvinToRgb(color), // <--
});

// Update iro's color every time the color prop changes
useEffect(() => {
  const updatedColor = iro.Color.kelvinToRgb(color); // <--
  colorPicker.current.color.set(updatedColor);
}, [color]);

Is there any reason the iro.Color constructor can't accept kelvin format as well?

Ah, this is a silly oversight on my behalf, sorry about that.

It should be relatively trivial to add support for specifying the initial color as an object like {kelvin: 9000}, I'll take a look at it whenever I have time :)

Sorry for taking so long to get to this!

The option to pass a kelvin object as a color value will be added in the next release (v 5.5.0)

Example:

colorPicker.color.set({ kelvin: 6600 });

Thanks for the suggestion!
