What Is Gravity Forms Color Picker?
Gravity Forms Color Picker is developed by JetSloth and is a forms plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for form enhancement.
The plugin solves the problem of collecting color-specific data without forcing users to type hex codes manually. It is designed for businesses selling customizable physical products, digital goods, or artwork that require user-defined color specifications.
Gravity Forms Color Picker Features
The core feature set is built around transforming standard input fields into interactive color selection tools.
Standardized Field Integration
Color Picker works directly with radio buttons, checkbox fields, and single-line text inputs in the forms editor. Developers can simply check a box to enable color swatches on existing fields. This streamlined workflow eliminates the need to create new custom field types from scratch.
Pre-defined Swatches and Custom Hex Entry
Site administrators can provide a set of pre-defined color swatches for users to choose from. Additionally, by enabling the “other” option, the plugin activates a full color wheel. This allows users to pinpoint a custom hex value if the provided options do not meet their requirements.
Visual Themes and Layout Controls
The plugin includes six built-in display themes, such as Shadow Box, Circle, and Pantone styles, which remove the need for custom CSS. Users can manage column layouts across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. These settings ensure that the color choices align perfectly with the overall website design.
