For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: An issue label editor with 9 named preset chips, a custom color fallback and Badge ink chosen for contrast

When to use

Brand, accent and theme token settings kept as a hex, rgb or oklch string
Label, text and highlight colors chosen from a fixed palette of named presets
Design and drawing tools: fill and stroke inspectors, brush pickers, contrast checks and shade scales

When not to use

Toolbar palettes that close on a pick and offer no custom shade: use the Color Picker Text & Highlight example
A whole settings, profile or data entry screen with many fields and a save bar: use the Form blocks
A full document writing surface with a formatting toolbar, lists and links: use the Rich Text Editor blocks

Agent notes

custom compares color with each LABEL_COLORS value as a string, and the picker writes lowercase hex, so keep the presets lowercase
ColorPicker renders no wrapper element, so its children lay out in the parent; className on it styles only the trigger it draws when given no children
A value passed in any syntax parseColor reads is accepted, but the next change comes back written in the root format
Without alpha, opacity in a passed value is ignored on screen and every value the picker emits is opaque
