Color picker library #12573

Open PicoPlanetDev opened 3 years ago

PicoPlanetDev commented 3 years ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I really like the currently color picker with the editor window, but I think that a color library system as part of this editor would be ideal. It would be great if there was a second vertical row next to the colors, allowing you to organize colors into a named/icon emoji folder. Then, each color could have a name also.

Scenario when this would be used?

I use the color picker to identify colors that I want to use in games that I create. I have separate lists of color schemes that I use, and it would simplify my workflow to be able to organize colors within the color picker.

Supporting information

Mockup of this idea Each icon on the left could be an emoji, short text, or image chosen. The plus button would allow for more libraries/folders, and each library/folder has colors inside. In this example, the "Corn" folder has the colors green, red, and blue. Each color can also have a name, such as "My Custom Green Color"

@PicoPlanetDev Nice idea.

You can upload the image directly to github. So, please include it directly into the issue description. This makes it easier for other peoples.

Oops! It's been a while since I added an image in markdown, sorry. Forgot the exclamation point! I think that it is fixed now.

Yes it's fixed.

But you can paste the image directly into the text input field. It will then be uploaded to github and you don't need services like imgur.

I along with some others are interested on working on this issue as a team for a class. Is this an issue large enough in scope to require specs as mentioned in the dev doc?

Some more ideas related to this issue since others are marked duplicates of this.

When a user picks a color, the pop up window that appears should have a color palette that is created using color theories like complimentary, split-complimentary etc. A example is the site https://coolors.co/.

I have made a mockup of what it might look like
