New ColorPicker control for Web Platforms

The ColorPicker control is a new component that was introduced in Essential Studio 2014 Volume 3. It provides a rich visual interface for color selection. End users can either choose a custom color or select colors from a set of professionally-designed palettes.

You can also select colors in different specifications, such as Red Green Blue Alpha (RGBA) opacity, hue-saturation-value (HSV), and hexadecimal (HEX). The ColorPicker control provides a selection of basic colors, standard presets, custom colors, and color swatches.

Standard Model

The ColorPicker control displays a drop-down menu with multiple ways to pick a specific color in a WYSIWYG manner. The selected color is displayed in the drop-down menu. You can also adjust the opacity value and hue value by moving the corresponding sliders.

1. The following code snippet is used to declare a ColorPicker control:

<input type=”text” id=”colorPicker” />

2. The following code snippet will render the ColorPicker control:

<script>

    jQuery(function ($) {

        $(“#colorPicker”).ejColorPicker();
