Initializing the ColorPalette

The following example demonstrates how to define a ColorPalette.

    @(Html.Kendo().ColorPalette()
        .Name("colorpalette") // The name of the ColorPalette is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the component.
        .Value("#ff0000") // Set the value of the ColorPalette.
    )

    <kendo-colorpalette name="colorpalette" value="#ff0000">
    </kendo-colorpalette>

Basic Configuration

The following example showcases a basic configuration of the ColorPalette with four columns, specified width and height of the color cells, and a predefined color palette.

    @(Html.Kendo().ColorPalette()
        .Name("color-chooser")
        .Palette(new string[] { "#ddd1c3", "#d2d2d2", "#746153", "#3a4c8b", "#ffcc33", "#fb455f", "#ac120f" })
        .TileSize(ts => ts.Width(50).Height(50))
        .Columns(4)
        .Value("#ffcc33")
    )

    @{
        string[] colors = new string[] { "#ddd1c3", "#d2d2d2", "#746153", "#3a4c8b", "#ffcc33", "#fb455f", "#ac120f" };
    }

    <kendo-colorpalette name="color-chooser" columns="4"
