How can I ask for a color. There is no color picker ? What would be the right way to implement one ? ---

I use coloris.js. I should create a walk thru of that. But that’s what I use. ---

Hi @AlainGioanni 👋 Just added it as a feature request so the product team can explore the idea. In the meantime @jaredgibb, no pressure but I’d be super interested in seeing a walkthrough if you get a chance! 😄 Might record a video tutorial and/or add it to the user docs. ---

Hi @AlainGioanni We just added a basic color picker input element in the default UI kit: ![CleanShot 2023-08-24 at 13.17.59@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/a/a82bda69a80029ea6ec03ccbae63e3bc020636dd.png) We’re exploring options to create a more advanced one in the future. ---

Hey @Joyce I am trying to set a pointer to be visible when hovering over the color picker. While this setting works in the editor mode, when previewing the app it breaks. Is this a known limitation? [Workaround to the above issue] ---

Hi, i digged up this, and this is apparently due to the fact that Chrome (and probably other browser) have a very specific stylesheet for input of type color. I will open a bug on our side to take this into account ---

It’s all good. For me, I thee the picker in a div and made it 0x0 pixels. I give the div the color of the picker as it’s background. I give the picker an id. I am dispatching a click to the color picker using js when I click on the holder div. It works perfect for my use case and I can achieve the exact look of the button that I want.
