Pickr is a dependency-free, multi-themed, responsive color picker library for JavaScript web applications. It supports multiple color representations (rgba, hsla, hsva), alpha channels, swatches, touch devices, and works alongside any CSS framework.

Use cases

• add a color picker to a web form
• let users pick colors with alpha/opacity control
• embed a color picker widget in a theme customizer
• replace jQuery color picker plugins with a dependency-free library
• add color swatches for quick selection in a design tool
• build a responsive color picker that works on touch devices

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, zero-dependency color picker for the browser
• you want multiple themes and color formats out of the box
• you need accessibility, i18n, and touch support in a UI widget
• you want a picker compatible with Bootstrap, Materialize, or other CSS frameworks

When to avoid

• you need a feature set that will keep growing - the project's feature set is frozen and only receives security/bug fixes
• you need ES5 support for very old browsers
• you need a heavily tested, modular codebase - the core is monolithic and hard to extend
