Example#

<ColorSwatchPicker>
  <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#08f" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#088" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#008" />
</ColorSwatchPicker>

<ColorSwatchPicker>
  <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#08f" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#088" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#008" />
</ColorSwatchPicker>

<ColorSwatchPicker>
  <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#08f" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#088" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#008" />
</ColorSwatchPicker>

Value#

ColorSwatchPicker accepts either an uncontrolled default value or a controlled value, provided using the defaultValue or value props respectively. The value provided to either of these props should be a color string or Color object. The value is matched against the color of each ColorSwatch, including equivalent colors in different color spaces.

In the example below, the parseColor function is used to parse the initial color from a HSL string so that value's type remains consistent.

import {parseColor} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [color, setColor] = React.useState(parseColor('hsl(0, 100%, 33.33%)'));

  return (
    <ColorSwatchPicker value={color} onChange={setColor}>
      <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
      <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
      <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
    </ColorSwatchPicker>
  );
}

import {parseColor} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [color, setColor] = React.useState(
    parseColor('hsl(0, 100%, 33.33%)')
  );

  return (
    <ColorSwatchPicker value={color} onChange={setColor}>
      <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
      <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
      <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
    </ColorSwatchPicker>
  );
}

import {parseColor} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [color, setColor] =
    React.useState(
      parseColor(
        'hsl(0, 100%, 33.33%)'
      )
    );

  return (
    <ColorSwatchPicker
      value={color}
      onChange={setColor}
    >
      <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
      <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
      <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
    </ColorSwatchPicker>
  );
}

Note: ColorSwatches rendered inside a ColorSwatchPicker must have unique colors, even between different color spaces. For example, the values #f00, hsl(0, 100%, 50%), and hsb(0, 100%, 100%) are all equivalent and considered duplicates. This is required so that selection behavior works properly.

Labeling#

By default, ColorSwatchPicker has an aria-label with the localized string "Color swatches". This can be overridden with a more specific accessibility label using the aria-label or aria-labelledby props. All labels should be localized.

<ColorSwatchPicker aria-label="Fill color">
  <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
</ColorSwatchPicker>

<ColorSwatchPicker aria-label="Fill color">
  <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
</ColorSwatchPicker>

<ColorSwatchPicker aria-label="Fill color">
  <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
  <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
</ColorSwatchPicker>

Events#

ColorSwatchPicker accepts an onChange prop which is triggered whenever the value is edited by the user. It receives a Color object as a parameter.

The example below uses onChange to update a separate element with the color value as a string.

import {parseColor} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [value, setValue] = React.useState(parseColor('#A00'));

  return (
    <div>
      <ColorSwatchPicker value={value} onChange={setValue}>
        <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#08f" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#088" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#008" />
      </ColorSwatchPicker>
      <p>Selected color: {value.toString('rgb')}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

import {parseColor} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [value, setValue] = React.useState(
    parseColor('#A00')
  );

  return (
    <div>
      <ColorSwatchPicker value={value} onChange={setValue}>
        <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#08f" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#088" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#008" />
      </ColorSwatchPicker>
      <p>Selected color: {value.toString('rgb')}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

import {parseColor} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [value, setValue] =
    React.useState(
      parseColor('#A00')
    );

  return (
    <div>
      <ColorSwatchPicker
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
      >
        <ColorSwatch color="#A00" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#f80" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#080" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#08f" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#088" />
        <ColorSwatch color="#008" />
      </ColorSwatchPicker>
      <p>
        Selected color:
        {' '}
        {value.toString(
          'rgb'
        )}
      </p>
    </div>
  );
}
