The Wheel Color Picker plugin adds color picker functionality to HTML form inputs in round color wheel style. The Wheel Color Picker can be displayed as a popup dialog as users focus the input, or embedded inline. It currently supports these HTML elements:
- input (works on buttons too!)
- textarea
Note: It should also works on other HTML elements which support jQuery .val() function.
SUPPORTED COLORS
This plugin supports both RGB and HSV modes with additional Alpha channel.
MULTIPLE FORMAT
There are numbers of formats which the color picker can display its value:
- hex format, e.g. ffffff
- css format, e.g. #ffffff
- rgb format, e.g. rgb(255, 255, 255)
- hsv format, e.g. hsv(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
INDIVIDUAL SLIDERS
The color picker can be set to display slider for each individual color channel.
THEMING CAPABILITY
The color picker appearance can be customized using CSS. This package already contains two CSS variants which can be used as starting point to make your own theme.
RESPONSIVE MOBILE LAYOUT
The color picker can automatically adapt when opened on mobile browsers with limited screen width.
