I can show the color picker, I can change the color and see the save button watching that, however nothing is saved to DB and I'm getting

Undefined index: my_color", file: "wp-content/plugins/my_plugin/my_color.php", line: 53

This is my widget:

Please try this modified code:

class widget007 extends WP_Widget {

        function __construct() {
            add_action('admin_print_styles-widgets.php', array( $this, 'load_color_picker_style' ) );
            $args = array(
                'name' => esc_html__( 'widget007', 'txt-domaine' ),
                'description' => esc_html__( 'Something', 'txt-domaine' )
            );
            parent::__construct( 'my_widget007', '', $args );
        }

        function load_color_picker_style() {
            wp_enqueue_style( 'wp-color-picker' );
            wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-color-picker' ); 
            wp_enqueue_script( 'underscore' );
        }

        function form( $instance ) {
            $my_color = esc_attr( $instance[ 'my_color' ] );
            ?>
            <p>  
                <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'my_color' ); ?>">Color</label>
                <input type="text" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'my_color' ); ?>" class="color-picker" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'my_color' ); ?>" value="<?php echo $my_color; ?>" />
            </p>
            <script>
                ( function( $ ){
                    function initColorPicker( widget ) {
                        widget.find( '.color-picker' ).wpColorPicker( {

                    }

                    function onFormUpdate( event, widget ) {
                        initColorPicker( widget );
                    }

                    $( document ).on( 'widget-added widget-updated', onFormUpdate );

                    $( document ).ready( function() {
                        $( '#widgets-right .widget:has(.color-picker)' ).each( function () {

                        } );

                }( jQuery ) );
            </script>
            <?php
        }

        function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
            $instance = $old_instance;
            $instance['my_color']  = strip_tags( $new_instance['my_color'] );

            return $instance;
        }
    }

    add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
        register_widget( 'widget007' );
    });
