Shadcn File Type Custom Colors

Custom colors and unknown types. Built with the File Type component. A free, open source shadcn file type example you can install with npx shadcn@latest add @reui/c-file-type-11 and edit as your own code.

Unknown extensions fall back to a neutral icon, and one class recolors any type.

For AI Agents

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

Best for: The same 4 CAD and 3D formats twice, on the default neutral page and then recolored teal, indigo, orange and rose

When to use

Attachment lists, upload queues and file browser rows, each icon resolved from a name or MIME type
Export format pickers and legends of the formats a product accepts or produces
Version tags, document codes and marks such as a lock or star drawn on a document

When not to use

A drop zone or picker that collects documents before they are sent: use the File Upload component
Documents carried by a chat message as chips with idle, uploading and error states: use the Attachment component
A complete drive page with a folder tree, list and grid views and bulk actions: use the Files blocks

Agent notes

The FORMATS shades keep white label text at 4.5:1, 700 for teal and orange; a lighter class needs dark label text
type takes an extension, not a file name: report.pdf passed straight in draws a neutral page labeled REPORT.PDF, so run names through getFileType
FileType is not focusable and has no keyboard behavior, so an action goes on a wrapping Button or link with its own accessible name
