Color Picker

The latest rendition of the Color Picker “Classic”, themed after Photoshop, GIMP, and other image editors, there are no frills here, it’s a basic Hue, Saturation, Luminance, and Alpha (HSVA) color selector. It works in browsers that support the <canvas> element; Firefox 2+, Safari 3+, Opera 9+, Google Chrome, IE9+.

Configuration:

• size: how large the saturation/luminance area is.
• hueWidth: how large the alpha/hue area is.
• autoclose: makes picker self closing when clicking outside the box.
• color: input rgba() or #hex.
• callback: sends your color to your custom function.
• toggle(): true or false, to display and hide.
• update(): to change the color externally.
• eyeDropLayer: layer to grab colors from.
• eyeDropMouseLayer: layer to get events from when grabbing colors.

Basic implementation:

 picker = new Color.Picker({
	color: "#643263", // accepts rgba(), or #hex
	callback: function(rgba, state, type) {
		document.body.style.background = Color.Space(rgba, "RGBA>W3");
	}
});
picker.element.style.top = 220 + "px";
picker.element.style.left = 270 + "px";
