v5.2 (Intelligent parsers)

Improve input color parsers to support valid CSS color notations and units of RGB[A] and HSL[A] color models:

// Percentage syntax
"rgb(100% 50% 25%)"

// Valid angular units ("deg", "grad", "rad" and "turn")
"hsl(100grad, 50%, 50%)"
"hsl(0.25turn, 50%, 50%)"

// Modern space and slash separated syntax 
"rgba(100% 50% 25% / 99%)"
"hsla(90 50% 50% / 10%)"

// Optional leading zero
"rgb(.99% .1% .5% / .6%)"
"hsla(.2rad, .99%, .5%, .25)"

v5 (Super easy to install)

Since v5 no longer requires importing CSS separately, the usage of the react-colorful became much simpler.

  import { HexColorPicker } from "react-colorful";
- import "react-colorful/dist/index.css";

Now the component does not require any CSS loader and can be used with any CSS-in-JS project or component library. Also, by dropping the CSS export we made the library 100% side-effects-free.

The default styles are set to a higher priority level now, so you may need to tweak your styles a bit to override the built-in styles.

v4.1 (Accessibility)

• Our color picker now follows the WAI-ARIA guidelines to support users of assistive technologies.
• The component is completely accessible with keyboard navigation: you can focus on any picker's part using the Tab button and change the color with the arrow keys.
