Add https://github.com/dagronf/DSFColorPicker to your project

You can add a DSFColorPickerUI to your SwiftUI view to display a DSFColorPicker in your SwiftUI content.

Parameters

struct MyContent: View {
   @State var selectedColor: Color = .red
   var body: some View {
      ...
      DSFColorPickerUI(
         named: "My color picker",
         theme: miniColorTheme,
         selectedColor: $selectedColor
      )
   )
}

let miniColorTheme = DSFColorPickerTheme(name: "Basic Colors", argbValueGrid: [
	[0xF5402C, 0xEB1360, 0x9C1BB1, 0x6634B8, 0x3D4DB7],
	[0x47AE4A, 0x009687, 0x01BBD5, 0x00A6F6, 0x0C93F5],
	[0x89C43F, 0xCCDD1E, 0xFFEC17, 0xFEC001, 0xFF9800],
	[0x000000, 0x5E7C8B, 0x9D9D9D, 0x7A5447, 0xFF5506],
])

You can configure your control in interface builder completely. Drop in a custom view, change the custom type to DSFColorView (or an overload) and choose your display theme using the 'Named Theme' setting in the custom types

Configurable using a 2d array of colors, for example

Full size

	let theme = DSFColorPickerTheme(name: "default", argbValueGrid: [
		[0xF5402C, 0xEB1360, 0x9C1BB1, 0x6634B8, 0x3D4DB7],
		[0x47AE4A, 0x009687, 0x01BBD5, 0x00A6F6, 0x0C93F5],
		[0x89C43F, 0xCCDD1E, 0xFFEC17, 0xFEC001, 0xFF9800],
		[0x000000, 0x5E7C8B, 0x9D9D9D, 0x7A5447, 0xFF5506]]
	)
	self.colorView.selectedTheme = theme

Full size

	let theme = DSFColorPickerTheme(name: "Simple Line", argbValueGrid: [
		[0xE0BA4240, 0xE0F0C976, 0xE096A873, 0xE089C9B8, 0xE0AFE6E4, 0xE07AA3C0, 0xE08B719F, 0xE0DB849A]]
	)
	self.showRecents = false
	self.colorView.selectedTheme = theme

The number of recent colors (if shown) is the same as the number of columns in the color grid

• Show or hide the themes in the control
• Show or hide the 'selected' button
• Show or hide recent colors
• Show or hide titles within the control
• Set the cell width and height
• Set the spacing between the color cells

As of macOS 10.15, your app will require Screen Recording permissions to use the color sampler (the eye dropper).

The first time a user selects the eye-dropper, macOS will display a dialog asking for permission.

You can view the Screen Recording permissions for apps in the system preferences Security & Privacy pane.

System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Screen Recording

Supply a set of themes, and configure the control to display the theme selector.

• Drag from the picker to any other component (eg. a color well) that supports dropping colors
• Drag colors into the control

Automatically adjusts to light and dark modes dynamically

Dynamically adjusts to high-contrast display modes

Full size

• High contrast support
• VoiceOver reads out 'named' color views as they are interacted with (" Color Selector")

• SwiftUI support

• Updated the package to depend on the DSFColorSampler package instead of embedding an older version of the source.

• Removed 'direct' method of installing as the SPM package now depends on DSFColorSampler.

• Fixed a compile bug when archiving (Github issue tracker)

MIT. Use it for anything you want, just attribute my work. Let me know if you do use it somewhere, I'd love to hear about it!
