Blazor ColorGradient Overview

The ColorGradient for Blazor enables users to select a color from an HSVA canvas, or to type a specific RGB/HEX color value. Compared to our ColorPalette component, the ColorGradient allows selection from unlimited number of colors. It may also be preferred by advanced users.

The ColorGradient component is part of Telerik UI for Blazor, a professional grade UI library with 100+ native components for building modern and feature-rich applications. To try it out sign up for a free 30-day trial.

Creating Blazor ColorGradient

1. Add the TelerikColorGradient tag.
2. Set its Value attribute to a HEX/RGB string variable via one-way or two-way binding.
3. (optional) Set the ValueFormat and Format attributes to the desired color format.

<TelerikColorGradient @bind-Value="@ColorGradientValue"
                      ValueFormat="@ColorFormat.Hex">
</TelerikColorGradient>

@code {
   private string ColorGradientValue { get; set; } = "#282f89";
}

Events

The Blazor ColorGradient fires value change and format change events that you can handle and further customize its behavior. Read more about the Blazor ColorGradient events.

Supported Value Formats

The ColorGradient accepts values by the application code in the following formats:

• Hexadecimal
  • 3 digits - #f00
  • 6 digits - #ff0000
  • 8 digits, including alpha opacity - #ff000080
• RGB or RGBA
  • integer color values - rgb(255, 0, 0)
  • percentage color values - rgb(100%, 0%, 0%)
  • the alpha opacity must always be a decimal number between 0 and 1 - rgba(100%, 0%, 0%, 0.5). Note the rgba() notation, compared to rgb() above.

Users can type values in the following formats:

• All hexadecimal
• RGB and RGBA with integer color values

Color keywords are not supported. If this is the preferred use case scenario, consider the ColorPalette component.
