Unable to change color for gift #58

Closed alexhrao closed 6 years ago

alexhrao commented 6 years ago

Problem

Can't change the actual color of the gift

Solutions

Solution 1: Read from the description

Description

Restrict text box to css colors. The circle color is just that color!

Pros

No need to have a color picker
Reduced complexity

Cons

No real control over color
Color description might be something completely different from color
how do we convert CSS's lightgreen to 'Light Green'? (As an example)

Solution 2: Implement a Color Picker

Description

Clicking the circle will allow the user to select a specific hex value

Pros

Exactly the color the user wants
Separate the description from the actual color

Cons

Greater internal complexity
