jQuery.colorpicker is a simple and expandable jQuery color picker.
The colors are Google-calendar inspired, and the library is amazingly economic at only about 100 lines of code.
Two options are available: colors (an array of colors that initialize with this picker), and delay, which sets a show and hide animation delay.
One Color is a standalone color toolkit that also works in Node.
One Color can seamlessly convert RGB, HSV, HSL and CMYK color spaces to the format you require, and adds methods to any color channel in any available color space. The alpha channel is also provided.
This is mainly a color manipulation library, and its main strength, as far as I can tell, is the seamless unit conversion and methods that add unseen functionality to your color manipulations.
ExColor is a jQuery plugin for adding a color picker to your <input> elements.
The plugin features an awesome on-site wizard (in the picture), so users can just as well create a customized color picker without any coding.
Although only applicable to input fields, ExColor is as close you’d get to a real PS color picker, and is useful for, e.g., allowing users to customize your app.
Firepicker adds a small color picker dialog when editing CSS rule in Firebug.
The addon scans for values that can be parsed as CSS colors (#abc, rgb(1,2,3), blue, red etc.) and displays them in a drop-down list right below the firebug’s CSS editor box. Clicking on the color value in the drop-down brings up a color picker dialog.
JSColor is a user-friendly color picker for HTML forms. You can attach it to any desired input.
JSColor offers cross-browser support; you can also customize the picker so it doesn’t look Photoshop 5-ish; JSColor also allows you to employ events, etc.
The plugin can come in handy in a number of occasions: JSColor’s developers have set up a gradient-generator demo, showcasing what their precious library can do.
And it’s actually quite a lot.
xcolor is a jQuery plugin for manipulating CSS colors.
Among the main features are: simple finding of analogous colors, extracting the name of the nearest colors, extracting the RGB components of a specific color.
You may want to simply toy around with the plugin, but this creative plugin could find a lot of use in design, hence you can find analogous colors by writing a single line of code.
