The No Hassle Colorpicker

I wanted a JavaScript colorpicker that didn’t require images, and that had an API that made sense to me as a developer who has worked with color in a number of applications. I had used existing plugins (which I was quite grateful for), but decided that I would make a smaller, simpler one.

See a demo and documentation Spectrum colorpicker project page.

Colorpicker Goals

  • Minimal Resources (1 Javascript file, some CSS rules, NO images)
  • Wide range of browser support – including touch events
  • Progressive Enhancement
  • “Palette” Support
