DHTML and Javascript solutions

My web design tools preformed a deep analysis on the various color picker javascript implementation showing a gallery of the more cool solutions.

You can see a list with some screenshots, the capabilities and some opinions of the libraries we have tested.

The gallery

• Farbtastic
  
  A JQuery based plugin, the best solution if you are already using this library. The capabilities of this colorpicker true WYSIWYG, uses the intuitive HSL color space rather than the more common HSB, the semplicity of the installation and configuration.




• Color Jack
  
  A DHTML javascript library. Capabilities: the lightness of the js. But if you must pay attention if you are using another javascript library (for example Prototype or JQuery) that defines the $ function.




• Colourmod
  
  It’s not free, but It’s cheap and very cool (10 $ for the unbranded version).




• Dojox
  
  For Dojo users, a color picker widget.




• MooRainbow
  
  Mootools based plugin, as the other best javascript framework you can associate callback function to user events (onChange, onComplete). Flexible installation and customization.




• Photoshop like
  
  A nice DHTML library that includes the S,V,R,G,B colors maps such as the photoshop color picker. It’s not tested in Firefox, and unlike other javascript Framework based libraries you must write some code to integrate in your web applications.
