Blazor Color Palette Overview

The Blazor Color Palette component provides a list of color tiles for the user to pick a color by clicking or tapping. You can choose a predefined list of colors, or create your own. Two-way binding and events let you react to the user choice.

If unlimited choice of colors is preferred, consider the ColorGradient component instead.
