Measured entry

kibo-color-picker

selectminimal-flat

A client-side compound color picker shipped as editable shadcn registry source. It provides a saturation field, hue and alpha sliders, optional eyedropper action, and read-only output in several formats. It depends on Color, Lucide, Radix Slider, Tailwind theme classes, shadcn Button, Input, and Select primitives, and the cn utility.

Verdict

A useful source-owned picker for an existing design system, but not production-ready unchanged. It needs a shadcn-style setup, accessible names and labels, and responsive treatment for the output row before broad use.

Use it if

  • You want source-owned color controls that can be composed into a custom panel.
  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions and needs hue, opacity, eyedropper, and format output in one component family.
  • A read-only formatted value is sufficient and edits will happen through the picker controls.

Skip it if

  • You need a drop-in package for a project without Tailwind aliases and shadcn primitives.
  • Users must type or paste color values directly because the supplied format fields are read-only.
  • You cannot budget for accessibility fixes because the rendered controls include missing names and labels.
  • The picker must fit narrow screens without adapting its fixed-width wrapper or output row.

In a non-shadcn project, add client-side React support, Tailwind theme tokens and utilities, the cn helper and path alias, plus compatible Button, Input, and Select primitives. Install Color, Lucide React, Radix UI, class-variance-authority, clsx, and tailwind-merge; add Color types for development.
