Color Fields

This document is for a version of Craft CMS that is no longer supported. Please refer to the latest version →

Color fields give you a color picker, and save a hexadecimal value of the selected color.

# The Field

Color fields will either use your browser’s color picker (if your browser supports <input type="color">) or a JavaScript-powered color picker.

# Templating

Calling a Color field in your templates will return the hexidecamal value of the selected color, if there is one.

If you don’t manually change a Color field’s color, it will be saved as #000000. It’s not possible to save a Color field without a value. So the only time when a Color field won’t have a value is if it hasn’t been saved for the given element yet.

{% block head %}
  {{ parent() }}

  {% if entry.linkColor and entry.linkColor != '#000000' %}
    <style type="text/css">
      .content a {
        color: {{ entry.linkColor }};
      }
    </style>
  {% endif %}
{% endblock %}
