A color field allows users to edit a hex color or individual color channel value.

Example#
<ColorField label="Primary Color" />
<ColorField label="Primary Color" />
<ColorField label="Primary Color" />
Value#
A ColorField's value
is empty by default, but an initial, uncontrolled, value can be provided using the defaultValue
prop.
Alternatively, a controlled value can be provided using the value
prop. The value provided to either of these props should be a color string or Color
object.
In the example below, the parseColor
function is used to parse the initial color
from a hex value, stored in state.
import {parseColor} from 'react-stately';
function Example() {
let [value, setValue] = React.useState(parseColor('#e73623'));
return (
<Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color (Uncontrolled)"
defaultValue="#e21"
/>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color (Controlled)"
value={value}
onChange={setValue}
/>
</Flex>
);
}
import {parseColor} from 'react-stately';
function Example() {
let [value, setValue] = React.useState(
parseColor('#e73623')
);
return (
<Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color (Uncontrolled)"
defaultValue="#e21"
/>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color (Controlled)"
value={value}
onChange={setValue}
/>
</Flex>
);
}
import {parseColor} from 'react-stately';
function Example() {
let [value, setValue] =
React.useState(
parseColor(
'#e73623'
)
);
return (
<Flex
gap="size-150"
wrap
>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color (Uncontrolled)"
defaultValue="#e21"
/>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color (Controlled)"
value={value}
onChange={setValue}
/>
</Flex>
);
}
HTML forms#
ColorField supports the name
prop for integration with HTML forms. The value will be submitted to the server as a hex color string. When a channel
prop is provided, the value will be submitted as a number instead.
<ColorField label="Color" name="color" />
<ColorField label="Color" name="color" />
<ColorField
label="Color"
name="color"
/>
Color channel#
By default, ColorField allows the user to edit the color as a hex value. When the colorSpace
and channel
props are provided, ColorField displays the value for that channel formatted as a number instead. Rendering multiple ColorFields together can allow a user to edit a color.
function Example() {
let [color, setColor] = React.useState(parseColor('#7f007f'));
return (
<>
<div style={{ display: 'flex', gap: 8 }}>
<ColorField
label="Hue"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="hue"
/>
<ColorField
label="Saturation"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="saturation"
/>
<ColorField
label="Lightness"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="lightness"
/>
</div>
<p>Current color value: {color?.toString('hex')}</p>
</>
);
}
function Example() {
let [color, setColor] = React.useState(
parseColor('#7f007f')
);
return (
<>
<div style={{ display: 'flex', gap: 8 }}>
<ColorField
label="Hue"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="hue"
/>
<ColorField
label="Saturation"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="saturation"
/>
<ColorField
label="Lightness"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="lightness"
/>
</div>
<p>Current color value: {color?.toString('hex')}</p>
</>
);
}
function Example() {
let [color, setColor] =
React.useState(
parseColor(
'#7f007f'
)
);
return (
<>
<div
style={{
display:
'flex',
gap: 8
}}
>
<ColorField
label="Hue"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="hue"
/>
<ColorField
label="Saturation"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="saturation"
/>
<ColorField
label="Lightness"
value={color}
onChange={setColor}
colorSpace="hsl"
channel="lightness"
/>
</div>
<p>
Current color
value:{' '}
{color?.toString(
'hex'
)}
</p>
</>
);
}
Labeling#
A visual label should be provided for the ColorField using the label
prop. If the ColorField is required, the isRequired
and
necessityIndicator
props can be used to show a required state.
<Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
<ColorField label="Primary Color" />
<ColorField label="Primary Color" isRequired />
<ColorField label="Primary Color" isRequired necessityIndicator="label" />
<ColorField label="Primary Color" necessityIndicator="label" />
</Flex>
<Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
<ColorField label="Primary Color" />
<ColorField label="Primary Color" isRequired />
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
isRequired
necessityIndicator="label"
/>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
necessityIndicator="label"
/>
</Flex>
<Flex
gap="size-150"
wrap
>
<ColorField label="Primary Color" />
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
isRequired
/>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
isRequired
necessityIndicator="label"
/>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
necessityIndicator="label"
/>
</Flex>
Accessibility#
If a visible label isn't specified, an aria-label
must be provided to the ColorField for
accessibility. If the field is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby
prop must be provided using
the id
of the labeling element instead.
Internationalization#
In order to internationalize a ColorField, a localized string should be passed to the label
or aria-label
prop.
When the necessityIndicator
prop is set to "label"
, a localized string will be provided for "(required)"
or "(optional)"
automatically.
Validation#
ColorField supports the isRequired
prop to ensure the user enters a value, as well as custom validation functions, realtime validation, and server-side validation. It can also be integrated with other form libraries. See the Forms guide to learn more.
When the Form component has the validationBehavior="native"
prop, validation errors block form submission and are displayed as help text automatically. Errors are displayed when the user blurs the color field or submits the form.
import {Form, ButtonGroup, Button} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';
<Form validationBehavior="native" maxWidth="size-3000">
<ColorField label="Color" name="color" isRequired /> <ButtonGroup>
<Button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</Button>
<Button type="reset" variant="secondary">Reset</Button>
</ButtonGroup>
</Form>
import {
Button,
ButtonGroup,
Form
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';
<Form validationBehavior="native" maxWidth="size-3000">
<ColorField label="Color" name="color" isRequired /> <ButtonGroup>
<Button type="submit" variant="primary">
Submit
</Button>
<Button type="reset" variant="secondary">
Reset
</Button>
</ButtonGroup>
</Form>
import {
Button,
ButtonGroup,
Form
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';
<Form
validationBehavior="native"
maxWidth="size-3000"
>
<ColorField
label="Color"
name="color"
isRequired
/> <ButtonGroup>
<Button
type="submit"
variant="primary"
>
Submit
</Button>
<Button
type="reset"
variant="secondary"
>
Reset
</Button>
</ButtonGroup>
</Form>
By default, ColorField
displays default validation messages provided by the browser. See Customizing error messages in the Forms guide to learn how to provide your own custom errors.

Visual options#
Quiet#
<ColorField label="Primary Color" isQuiet />
<ColorField label="Primary Color" isQuiet />
<ColorField

Disabled#
<ColorField label="Primary Color" isDisabled defaultValue="#e73623" />
<ColorField

<ColorField

isDisabled

Read only#
The isReadOnly
boolean prop makes the ColorField's text content immutable. Unlike isDisabled
, the ColorField remains focusable
and the contents can still be copied. See the MDN docs for more information.
<ColorField label="Primary Color" isReadOnly defaultValue="#e73623" />
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
isReadOnly
defaultValue="#e73623"
/>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
isReadOnly
defaultValue="#e73623"
/>
Label alignment and position#
By default, the label is positioned above the ColorField. The labelPosition
prop can be used to position the label to the side.
The labelAlign
prop can be used to align the label as "start" or "end". For left-to-right (LTR) languages, "start" refers to the
left most edge of the ColorField and "end" refers to the right most edge. For right-to-left (RTL) languages, this is flipped.
<ColorField label="Primary Color" labelPosition="side" labelAlign="end" />
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
labelPosition="side"
labelAlign="end"
/>
<ColorField
label="Primary Color"
labelPosition="side"
labelAlign="end"
/>
Help text#
Both a description and an error message can be supplied to a ColorField. The description is always visible unless the validationState
is “invalid” and an error message is provided. The error message can be used to help the user fix their input quickly and should be specific to the detected error. All strings should be localized.
