How can I specify certain color swatches for the Color Picker field?

Color Picker questions allow the submitter to select a color. You can give them a choice from some preset swatches and/or let them choose a custom color themselves.

To change the swatches available for a Color Picker question:

  1. Click on the Color Picker question in the editor.

  2. Navigate to the "Swatches" setting.

  3. You can delete any existing swatches by clicking on them individually.

    Navigating to the Question Panel and removing colors on the swatch by clicking on the swatches.
  4. Select the color for a new swatch. Do to this, you can:

    • Click and drag the hue slider to the right, then select the shade from the canvas.
    • Enter a hex code, including the # symbol. Three-character shorthand is allowed, so both #FFFFFF and #FFF would be accepted.
    • Enter an RGB() value, e.g. RGB(256, 256, 256).
  5. Once you're happy with the color, click the "Add swatch" button.

    Adding colors to the Color Picker swatch

If you'd like to limit the options to specific swatches rather than letting the submitter choose a custom color, toggle on "Allow swatches only."

Alternatively, you could delete all of the swatches if you only want to show the custom color slider and canvas with no preset options.
