Magento 1 - Color Picker does not show in backend

Question

I developed a extension where you can set specific settings in the backend. I made an input field which should spawn a color picker on click.

It works great on Magento 1.8 but fails with Magento 1.9.

This is how I defined it:

<subscribe_bgcolor>
    <label>Anmelden Hintergrund Farbe</label>
    <comment>Hex Code</comment>
    <frontend_type>text</frontend_type>
    <validate>color</validate>
    <sort_order>35</sort_order>
    <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
    <show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
    <show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
</subscribe_bgcolor>

I used <frontend_type>text</frontend_type> and <validate>color</validate>, but no color picker is getting spawned.
