Color Picker

The Color Picker allows users to select a precise color through an interactive gradient canvas, hue and opacity sliders, and hex/RGBA input fields. It is primarily used in setup and configuration contexts where users need to define brand colors for touchpoints such as kiosks and displays.

When to use

  • In settings or configuration pages where users define brand or theme colors
  • When a precise color value (hex, RGBA) is required from the user
  • To replace native <input type="color"> when a more complete and consistent UI is needed

When not to use

  • When a predefined set of colors is sufficient (use chips, swatches, or a select)
  • In forms where the user only needs to pick from the design system palette

Default

Click the trigger to open the picker. Click outside or press Enter in the hex field to close.

Sizes
