Color Picker Component
by Appian Corporation
Description
A designer facing a requirement where a user must be able to select a color has limited options in Appian. The designer may ask users to enter hex codes via a text field, or they may ask users to select from a small list of static colors. The first option is unlikely to be an acceptable user experience and offers no preview. The second option only satisfies requirements where the color selection is limited to a few colors. Additionally, the second option incurs a maintenance burden as someone must administer the color selection. This color picker component will allow those designers to meet their requirements and provide a far better user experience.
Features
The color picker component allows a user to select a color. The user may quickly do so visually using their mouse. Alternatively, the user may directly specify the color by entering either Hue / Saturation / Lightness values, Red / Blue / Green values, or a hex color. The component accepts an input color in hex format (like #facade). If no color is specified, the component defaults to black (#000000). As the user interacts with the component to adjust the color, the component outputs the updated color in hex format.
