Usage
usage.tsx
import { ColorPicker, ColorPickerAlpha, ColorPickerEyeDropper, ColorPickerFormat, ColorPickerHue, ColorPickerOutput, ColorPickerSelection,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/color-picker";export function Example() { return ( <ColorPicker defaultValue="#7c3aed" className="max-w-sm"> <ColorPickerSelection className="aspect-square" /> <ColorPickerHue /> <ColorPickerAlpha /> <div className="flex items-center gap-2"> <ColorPickerEyeDropper /> <ColorPickerFormat /> <ColorPickerOutput /> </div> </ColorPicker> );}- Use when users need to choose precise colors for themes, design tokens, illustrations, or other visual properties.
- Use when Figma-like HSL-based color selection with opacity control is preferable to a simple native color input.
- Use the output format selector when users need to inspect values as HEX, RGB, CSS, or HSL.
Examples
Basic color picker
A standalone picker initialized with a default color.
basic-color-picker.tsx
import { ColorPicker, ColorPickerAlpha, ColorPickerFormat, ColorPickerHue, ColorPickerOutput, ColorPickerSelection,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/color-picker";export function BasicColorPicker() { return ( <ColorPicker defaultValue="#2563eb" className="w-80"> <ColorPickerSelection className="aspect-square" /> <ColorPickerHue /> <ColorPickerAlpha /> <div className="flex gap-2"> <ColorPickerFormat /> <ColorPickerOutput /> </div> </ColorPicker> );}Controlled color picker
A controlled picker that receives color updates as an RGBA tuple.
controlled-color-picker.tsx
import { useState } from "react";import { ColorPicker, ColorPickerAlpha, ColorPickerFormat, ColorPickerHue, ColorPickerSelection,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/color-picker";export function ControlledColorPicker() { const [color, setColor] = useState<string | undefined>("#16a34a"); return ( <div className="space-y-3"> <ColorPicker value={color} onChange={([red, green, blue, alpha]) => { setColor(`rgba(${red}, ${green}, ${blue}, ${alpha})`); }} className="w-80" > <ColorPickerSelection className="aspect-square" /> <ColorPickerHue /> <ColorPickerAlpha /> <ColorPickerFormat /> </ColorPicker> <output>{color}</output> </div> );}Picker with EyeDropper
A picker that exposes the browser EyeDropper API through the pipette button.
picker-with-eyedropper.tsx
import { ColorPicker, ColorPickerAlpha, ColorPickerEyeDropper, ColorPickerFormat, ColorPickerHue, ColorPickerOutput, ColorPickerSelection,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/color-picker";export function EyeDropperColorPicker() { return ( <ColorPicker defaultValue="#f97316" className="w-80"> <ColorPickerSelection className="aspect-square" /> <ColorPickerHue /> <ColorPickerAlpha /> <div className="flex items-center gap-2"> <ColorPickerEyeDropper aria-label="Pick a color from the screen" /> <ColorPickerFormat /> <ColorPickerOutput /> </div> </ColorPicker> );}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
ColorPickerHTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> & { value?: Parameters<typeof Color>[0]; defaultValue?: Parameters<typeof Color>[0]; onChange?: (value: Parameters<typeof Color.rgb>[0]) => void }nullRoot provider and layout container. `value` is the controlled color input accepted by the `color` package; `defaultValue` initializes the picker and defaults to `"#000000"`; `onChange` receives an RGBA tuple produced from the current HSL and alpha state. Also accepts all standard div HTML attributes, including `className` and event handlers.
ColorPickerSelectionHTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>nullInteractive saturation/lightness selection surface. Pointer dragging updates saturation and lightness; accepts standard div HTML attributes.
ColorPickerHueComponentProps<typeof Slider.Root>nullRadix slider for hue, configured internally with a range of 0–360 and a step of 1. Passed slider props are spread onto the Radix slider root; internal `value` and `onValueChange` are applied before those props.
ColorPickerAlphaComponentProps<typeof Slider.Root>nullRadix slider for opacity, configured internally with a range of 0–100 and a step of 1. Passed slider props are spread onto the Radix slider root; internal `value` and `onValueChange` are applied before those props.
ColorPickerEyeDropperComponentProps<typeof Button>nullOutline icon button that invokes the browser EyeDropper API and updates hue, saturation, lightness, and alpha. Accepts all props supported by the imported Button component.
ColorPickerOutputComponentProps<typeof SelectTrigger>nullRadix/shadcn Select trigger for switching among the fixed `hex`, `rgb`, `css`, and `hsl` output modes. Accepts SelectTrigger props.
ColorPickerFormatHTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>nullRead-only formatted color values based on the selected output mode. Renders HEX, RGB channels, CSS `rgba(...)`, or HSL values plus an alpha percentage; accepts standard div HTML attributes.
Accessibility
- `ColorPickerHue` and `ColorPickerAlpha` use Radix Slider primitives, providing keyboard interaction and focus behavior inherited from Radix.
- `ColorPickerEyeDropper` uses the underlying Button component and supports accessible button props such as `aria-label`; provide an explicit label when the icon alone is not sufficient.
- `ColorPickerOutput` uses the Select primitive and supports keyboard operation through the underlying shadcn Select components.
- `ColorPickerSelection` is a pointer-driven div without built-in keyboard interaction, ARIA role, or accessible name. Add an accessible alternative or supplement it with labeled sliders for keyboard and assistive-technology users.
- The read-only format fields are visual output only and are not editable controls; provide surrounding context or labels when the displayed values need to be announced clearly.
- The EyeDropper API is experimental and may be unavailable in some browsers; the component catches failures and logs them to the console rather than exposing an error state.
