Doesn't have black color option

[Tremx389]

Hi, I've tried to use black in the selectedColor param, but it doesn't really select anything, also when I took Colors.black to to colors list, i've got an error.

How is it possible to have black as an option?

Thanks, Ben

Hi @Tremx389,

Can you send your code?

Colors.black is not a ColorSwatch type (a list of shaded colors with a primary color), but rather a Color type. This plugin is made to choose, first a primary color, then a shaded color.

So, if you want to have a color picker with black color shades (from white to very dark gray), you can set colors:

colors: [
    Colors.grey,
]

and for the selectedColor parameter:

selectedColor: Colors.grey[900],

But Colors.grey[900] is not completely black.

So, if you really want black color, you can create your own ColorSwatch object with Colors.black in primary color and in shaded color. And then for selectedColor: Colors.black.

Example:

ColorSwatch blackColors = new ColorSwatch(
   Colors.black.value,
   {
        500: Colors.black,
    },
);

MaterialColorPicker (
    onColorChange: _onColorChange,
    selectedColor: Colors.black,
    colors: [
        blackColors,
    ],
);

Of course you can add shaded colors, to have other color choices, instead of just having the color black.
