The ColorPicker is a composable component that combines multiple color components:

export default () => (
  <ColorPicker defaultValue="#0485F7">
    <ColorPicker.Trigger>
      <ColorSwatch />
      <Label>Pick a color</Label>
    </ColorPicker.Trigger>
    <ColorPicker.Popover>
      <ColorArea colorSpace="hsb" xChannel="saturation" yChannel="brightness">
        <ColorArea.Thumb />
      </ColorArea>
      <ColorSlider channel="hue" colorSpace="hsb">
        <ColorSlider.Track>
          <ColorSlider.Thumb />
        </ColorSlider.Track>
      </ColorSlider>
    </ColorPicker.Popover>
  </ColorPicker>
);

"use client";

import {
  Button,
  ColorArea,

With Swatches

import {
  ColorArea,

import {ColorPicker, ColorSlider, ColorSwatch, Label, ListBox, Select} from "@heroui/react";

Styling

Passing Tailwind CSS classes

import { ColorPicker, ColorArea, ColorSlider, ColorSwatch, Label } from '@heroui/react';

function CustomColorPicker() {
  return (
    <ColorPicker defaultValue="#0485F7">
      <ColorPicker.Trigger className="gap-4">
        <ColorSwatch className="rounded-lg" />
        <Label>Pick a color</Label>
      </ColorPicker.Trigger>
      <ColorPicker.Popover className="p-4 rounded-xl">
        <ColorArea colorSpace="hsb" xChannel="saturation" yChannel="brightness">
          <ColorArea.Thumb />
        </ColorArea>
      </ColorPicker.Popover>
    </ColorPicker>
  );
}

Customizing the component classes

To customize the ColorPicker component classes, you can use the @layer components directive.
Learn more.

@layer components {
  .color-picker {
    @apply inline-flex;
  }

  .color-picker__trigger {
    @apply inline-flex items-center gap-4 rounded-lg;
  }

  .color-picker__popover {
    @apply p-4 rounded-xl;
  }
}

HeroUI follows the BEM methodology to ensure component variants and states are reusable and easy to customize.

CSS Classes

The ColorPicker component uses these CSS classes (View source styles):

Base Classes

  • .color-picker - Base container
  • .color-picker__trigger - Trigger button
  • .color-picker__popover - Popover container

Interactive States

The component supports both CSS pseudo-classes and data attributes for flexibility:

  • Disabled: :disabled or [data-disabled="true"]
