Has anyone coded up a jQuery query color picker that lets you pick colors from a predetermined list of colors? Something like a product color picker on an Ecommerce site.
Most of the searching I've done reveals a lot of general purpose, pick-any-color-in-the-rgb-spectrum, but few options for picking specific colors.
There's Really Simple Color Picker which allows you to set predefined colours (I'm British :-P). It does allow you to change the colour with an input box, but a quick jQuery command would allow you to disable it if you wanted predefined colours only.
I made a colorpicker that provides this as an option if anyone is interested:
Here is a working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/bgrins/S45tW/
$("#showPaletteOnly").spectrum({
color: "rgb(244, 204, 204)",
showPaletteOnly: true,
palette: [
["rgb(0, 0, 0)", "rgb(67, 67, 67)", "rgb(102, 102, 102)",
"rgb(204, 204, 204)", "rgb(217, 217, 217)","rgb(255, 255, 255)"],
["rgb(152, 0, 0)", "rgb(255, 0, 0)", "rgb(255, 153, 0)", "rgb(255, 255, 0)", "rgb(0, 255, 0)",
"rgb(0, 255, 255)", "rgb(74, 134, 232)", "rgb(0, 0, 255)", "rgb(153, 0, 255)", "rgb(255, 0, 255)"],
["rgb(230, 184, 175)", "rgb(244, 204, 204)", "rgb(252, 229, 205)", "rgb(255, 242, 204)", "rgb(217, 234, 211)",
"rgb(208, 224, 227)", "rgb(201, 218, 248)", "rgb(207, 226, 243)", "rgb(217, 210, 233)", "rgb(234, 209, 220)",
"rgb(221, 126, 107)", "rgb(234, 153, 153)", "rgb(249, 203, 156)", "rgb(255, 229, 153)", "rgb(182, 215, 168)",
"rgb(162, 196, 201)", "rgb(164, 194, 244)", "rgb(159, 197, 232)", "rgb(180, 167, 214)", "rgb(213, 166, 189)",
"rgb(204, 65, 37)", "rgb(224, 102, 102)", "rgb(246, 178, 107)", "rgb(255, 217, 102)", "rgb(147, 196, 125)",
"rgb(118, 165, 175)", "rgb(109, 158, 235)", "rgb(111, 168, 220)", "rgb(142, 124, 195)", "rgb(194, 123, 160)",
"rgb(166, 28, 0)", "rgb(204, 0, 0)", "rgb(230, 145, 56)", "rgb(241, 194, 50)", "rgb(106, 168, 79)",
"rgb(69, 129, 142)", "rgb(60, 120, 216)", "rgb(61, 133, 198)", "rgb(103, 78, 167)", "rgb(166, 77, 121)",
"rgb(91, 15, 0)", "rgb(102, 0, 0)", "rgb(120, 63, 4)", "rgb(127, 96, 0)", "rgb(39, 78, 19)",
"rgb(12, 52, 61)", "rgb(28, 69, 135)", "rgb(7, 55, 99)", "rgb(32, 18, 77)", "rgb(76, 17, 48)"]
]
});
Hmm, I assume you don't want a drop down with named values.
What about picking your colours, and then doing a loop
$.each(['red', 'blue', 'green'], function(i, colour) {
$('ul#my-colours').append('<li style="background-color: ' + colour + ';">Choose</li>');
});
$('ul#my-colours li').click(function() {
setColour($(this).css('background-color'));
});
And then make them say 20 x 20 px and float them?
Maybe I am a little late to add my two pennies, but here is the best predefined colour swatch groups I have found: https://github.com/maxmackie/jquery.swatches
Hell yea they have! I found this gem the other day. http://acko.net/dev/farbtastic
