YUI Color Picker

October 9th, 2007 Posted by Don Albrecht

Give Choice to your users with a truly flexible Color Picker Widget:

The YUI Color picker has been around since 2.3 and I’m trying to find an excuse to use it in a project. It’s easy to implement & play with and quite powerful. Unfortunately, I keep finding it a bit too powerful to give to my users. The one time I tried using it in a light weight CMS the site turned into a Lime Green monstrosity.

Does anyone have any experience implementing color pickers? What do you do to enforce visual styling?

I encourage you to take the widget for a spin at:

Then come back and brainstorm ideas with me in the comments.
