Advanced tools
An accessible Vue.js color picker component.
Links:
npm install vue-accessible-color-picker
In a Vue single file component (SFC), import the ColorPicker plugin and register the component via the components property on the Vue instance. You can then use it in the file’s template section.
<template>
<ColorPicker />
</template>
<script>
import { ColorPicker } from 'vue-accessible-color-picker';
export default {
components: {
ColorPicker,
},
}
</script>
Unstyled component:
If you want to use the unstyled variant of the component, you need to adjust the import statement slightly:
import { ColorPicker } from 'vue-accessible-color-picker/dist/vue-accessible-color-picker-unstyled';
Registering a component globally allows you to use it in all Vue templates without the need to register it via an SFC’s components property first.
In your Vue project’s main.js file (i.e. where you call app.mount), import the ColorPicker plugin and register the component using app.component.
import { ColorPicker } from 'vue-accessible-color-picker';
app.component('ColorPicker', ColorPicker)
Unstyled component:
import { ColorPicker } from 'vue-accessible-color-picker/dist/vue-accessible-color-picker-unstyled';
app.component('ColorPicker', ColorPicker)

The component’s browser support is due to the use of CSS custom properties and spread syntax in object literals.
The color picker consists of the following main elements:
Color space:
For fine-tuning the saturation and lightness/value, a slice of the HSV cylinder for the currently selected hue is shown.
The HSV cylinder is more convenient for this task as it shows a color at 100% saturation and 100% value in the top right corner (i.e. one can drag the color space thumb into the corner as a quasi shortcut). The HSL cylinder’s slice has the this colors at the halfway point of the Y axis (i.e. at 50% lightness) which isn’t easy to hit.
Hue slider:
A slider for selecting the current hue. This rotates the HSV cylinder; thus, it changes the slice of the HSV cylinder that’s shown in the color space.
Alpha slider:
A slider for selecting the current alpha value.
Copy button:
Copies the color formatted as a CSS color string in the active format.
Color inputs:
A set of text fields which allow you to enter the individual components of each color. The text fields are shown based on the active format.
Switch format button:
Cycles through the available color formats (currently HEX, HSL, HWB, and RGB).
