Simply Swatch Color Picker In Vanill JavaScript – Swatchy.js

Preview:

Description:

This very simple color picker allows you to pick a nice color directly from a predefined swatch. Selecting a color will copy its hex value to your specified input field.

How to use it:

1. Download and load the color picker’s files in the document.

<script src="swatchy.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="swatchy.css" />

2. Create a button to toggle the color picker.

<button class="swatchy-button swatchy-trigger">
  <span class="swatchy-button-top">Select a Color</span>
</button>

3. Create an input field to store the hex color code you just picked.

<input type="text" class="swatchy-output swatchy-display" disabled>

4. Initialize the color picker.

Swatchy();

5. Customize the predefined colors.
