Color picker.

Choose a single accent.

In practice

Native color input with value/onChange or defaultValue. Supports opaque sRGB hex colors; label it explicitly. No alpha or palette editor.

Installation

Install Coal once. Components and TypeScript declarations are included. React 19 and React DOM 19 are peer dependencies.

npm install http://localhost:3100/downloads/chlohal-coal-ui-0.5.0.tgz

This installs the local package. It is not yet published on npm. See installation for stylesheet setup and integration.

Usage

"use client";
import * as React from "react";
import "@chlohal/coal-ui/styles.css";
import { ColorPicker, Label } from "@chlohal/coal-ui";
export default function Example() {
    const id = React.useId();
    return (<div>
          <Label htmlFor={id}>Accent color</Label>
          <ColorPicker id={id} defaultValue="#c46b38"/>
        </div>);
}

Source

The original Coal implementation. Use the package export to integrate it.

"use client";
import * as React from "react";
import { cn } from "./internal.js";
export type ColorPickerProps = Omit<
  React.ComponentPropsWithRef<"input">,
  "type" | "size"
>;
export function ColorPicker({ className, ...props }: ColorPickerProps) {
  return (
    <input
      type="color"
      className={cn("coal-color-picker", className)}
      {...props}
    />
  );
}

Accessibility checklist

• Provide an accessible name for controls, including icon-only buttons.
• Check keyboard navigation, visible focus and disabled states in your application.
• Do not rely on color alone to communicate status.
