ColorPicker

The color picker (ColorPicker) is used to browse through and select colors. By default, it lets people navigate through colors on a color spectrum; or specify a color in either Red-Green-Blue (RGB); or alpha color code; or Hexadecimal textboxes.

For more details and examples visit the official docs. The R package cannot handle each and every case, so for advanced use cases you need to work using the original docs to achieve the desired result.

ColorPicker.shinyInput(inputId, ..., value = defaultValue)

  session = shiny::getDefaultReactiveDomain(),
