Basics

To use a Telerik Color Palette for Blazor:

1. Add the <TelerikColorPalette> tag.
2. Bind its Value to the string you want to get out of it.
3. Optionally, choose a list of Colors to show the user (one of the presets we provide, or a set of custom colors).
   • If you do not provide a value for the Colors, it will default to the Office preset.
