Measured entry
kibo-color-picker
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.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1.88s error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-d81141680721/src/components/ui/button.tsx".
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.
Install
| Declared dependencies | color, lucide-react, radix-ui, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
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.
