Color input types#
Color#
The Color input provides an editing interface for color values.
You can edit the value of a Color input by typing in the input text field.
Color input appearance and behavior#
You can customize the label, comment, documentation link, and context box for all inputs regardless of type.
Depending on how your developer configured the input, your Color input may have a different color format or color transparency controls.
Input validation#
Your Color input may also have input validation, which requires the value to match predefined criteria before you can save your changes.
CloudCannon will show a red * next to the name of your Color input if a value is required.
If you enter a value under the minimum or over the maximum character count, CloudCannon will display an error message in red text under the input field.
