Some color picker libraries are Sketch, Photoshop, Github, Twitter, and Material Design. They are available through the react-color library. Despite this library's many possibilities, we have had to update it for the last two years. It contains thirteen distinct color pickers to make our unique color picker.  

Best color picker libraries in react:  

Selecting the colors for your application using a color picker library is easier.  

  • React-colorful: react-colorful is a simple color selector for React and React apps. One of the popular color picker libraries, it has a size of roughly 380 kB. It receives 2,771,156 downloads every week.  
  • material-ui-color: The color component collections are for material-ui-color. This library has 256 KB and receives 9,591 downloads each week.  
  • React-color-palette: It is a little color-picker library. It is 47.6 kB in size and gets downloaded about 6,170 times weekly.  
  • React-linear-gradient picker: We can accept it by choosing this package. We can then wrap it as a gradient picker. The package angle picker enables users to experiment with the gradient angle. It works well with this. It is 350KB in size and receives 1,811 downloads per week.  


The KendoReact Color Picker can fit any color-selecting requirements in your applications. You can do it with the support for a predefined color palette and a gradient color selector. You can use the color picker to edit the style of a specific component. You can use it to build a theme with a color scheme that we can change with our selected color. Users can choose a color using color picker libraries. You don't need to know the color combinations to create an exact color. If so, React Colour is a set of color-picking elements for React. It imitates the color picker components of used programs. They can be like Sketch, Photoshop, Chrome, and several others.  


Various color options are available in color picker libraries. We may use it to experiment with, browse through, and test out various color schemes. We can use color pickers to change color values and change photos. They are rarely used to create color palettes.  


A rectangle bar representing the Hue component shows the spectrum of colors from 0 to 360. The Hue bar is an HTML Canvas element. A unique React hook draws 360 degrees of color when the Picker loads. The hook receives a ref to the underlying DOM node to use the Canvas.getContext ().  


A smart approach to incorporate a color picker into your app is with the react-color package. Users can select from various colors on its user-friendly interface. The library offers props that you may use to personalize the color picker.  

bootstrap-colorpicker:  

  • You can construct a predefined color palette. It helps display alongside the bootstrap color picker to the user.  
  • Another thing you can design is a more sophisticated color picker. It generates dynamic color swatches based on the color you are now selecting.  
  • The color picker's user interface is quite customizable. You can make minor adjustments to how it looks. It does so by adding brand-new components like buttons. With your HTML template, you can do everything.
