Api

The picker let you pass in some options and attributes so you can customize it.

Note: In html the attributes are seperated by a hyphen instead of using camelCase in JavaScript.

Following properties can be parsed into the picker:

Description:

• colorMargin : The distance between the colors
• colorsPerRow : The number of colors per row
• colorSize : The size of each color circle
• defaultTint : this is the tint for each color wich will be shown at the beginning. Material colors default tint is 500. For custom palettes you can also use strings. *fixedMinHeight : If disabled, the picker will become less high, when the current subpalette has less colors than the mainpalette
• palette : the palette with all colors. If it is a string, the picker will use a built in palette. Currently the following palettes are available:

material : standard material colors
material-full : the material colors including the accent colors
material-accent : only the accent material colors

• useSpectrumPicker : if false, the other color tints can not be selected, so only the color wich matches default tint is selectable.
• value : the color which is selected. Must be a hex number with 6 digits and a hashtag.

Full example:

<md-color-picker value="#abcdef" palette="material-accent" default-tint="300" use-spectrum-picker="false"></md-color-picker>
