11 Javascript Color Pickers Plugins

Introduction

It was pretty hard to find a good color picker a few years back, just recently I have seen many of Javascript color picker plugins released so I decided to make a compilation of what I can find. In this post, I found 11 Javascript Color Picker Plugins. Some of them are really complicated whereas other can be really simple, so I pretty sure one of them will meet your needs.

• ExColor ExColor is a jQuery plugin for enabling users to select colors from a Photoshop-like color picker. It is attached to input fields and can be activated by simply calling a single-line function.
• JScolor JSColor is a simple and very easy-to-implement JavaScript library that transforms any given input into a color picker. The picker is a hidden layer, doesn't use any pop-ups and can be positioned on any side of the input field.
• Advanced Javascript ColorPicker ColorPicker is an advanced and highly customizable JavaScript color picker that doesn't rely on any JS frameworks. It can display the entire color palette (~16.78 mil. colors) in 6 different color modes.
• Farbtastic Farbtastic is a jQuery color picker plugin for easily adding a color picker into any webpage. The picker is linked to an existing element (e.g. a text field) and updates the value of the element when a color is selected.
• Javascript Color Picker This JavaScript color picker has HSB and RGB options, uses Prototype and compatible with all major browsers.
• mooRainbox mooRainbow is an easy to integrate JavaScript color picker built with mootools. This color picker can be attached to any element in the DOM. A click event would automatically be attached to that element and simply clicking on it you will be able to show or hide mooRainbow.

• Really Simple Color Picker A color picker with predefined color palette, it's simple and straight forward.
• Flexi Flexi is a lightweight (4.3kb) color picker that doesn't use any images (thanks to SVG/VML), CSS or 1px hacks but only JavaScript. It is a standalone script that doesn't require any JavaScript frameworks and can pass the color selected in hexadecimal, HSV and RGB formats.
