Wish: Improved color chooser input

ContentBlocks
1

The color picker is a great addition to let the client easily pick colors with optical feedback. But most times you only want them to pick from a limited selection and process class names instead of hex codes.

So it would be nice if you could

  • limit the selection per ContentBlock element (already possible globally)
  • deactivate the picker, just leave the swatches
  • connect the swatches to class names

So maybe just like a modified select setting where you set
#FFFFFF==mywhitecolorclass||#FF0000==myredcolorclass
and the hex-values are converted into swatches?

Update: It would also be great to have an option for »no color«!

I fully agree.

You described exactly the “Improved color chooser input” we would like.

We would love to see this too! :grinning:

I’d also like the option to have the color picker default to empty and be able to clear the field after a color has been picked. To use it as an override from a global color.

All of this has been added to the color input in v2.

Excellent. Where or when is version 2?

We’re almost ready to let people that supported the CB2 development into the private preview alpha phase :smiley:
