Color Palettes

Color Palettes is a simple property editor that let you define different color palettes and present them to the editor as a list of radio buttons.

It is also possible to request defined color palettes from Adobe Kuler or COLOURlovers 
by entering the theme/palette id.

This package can be useful if you want to use a specific style/theme for the page (e.g. by adding the palette alias to <body>), use styles on specific elements or widgets.


To use the selected palette in your razor view add the following namespaces:

@using Our.Umbraco.ColorPalettes.Models;
@using Our.Umbraco.ColorPalettes.Converters;

 

and to get the selected palette:

Strongly typed example

ColorPalette palette = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<ColorPalette>("theme");
var colors = palette.Colors;

 

Dynamic example

ColorPalette palette = (ColorPalette)CurrentPage.theme;
var colors = palette.Colors;

or

var colors = ((ColorPalette)CurrentPage.theme).Colors;

 

You can also loop through each color defined in the palette:

@foreach (var color in palette.Colors)
{
        @color.Code;
}

 

or get a specific color in the palette:

string color1 = palette.Colors.ElementAt(0).Code,
       color2 = palette.Colors.ElementAt(1).Code,
       color3 = palette.Colors.ElementAt(2).Code,
       color4 = palette.Colors.ElementAt(3).Code,
       color5 = palette.Colors.ElementAt(4).Code;

 

Since Umbraco 7.4 also include ng-file-upload, there is an issue uploading files in media section while Color Palettes is installed. To fix this in Umbraco 7.4.0 - 7.4.2 you can remove or uncomment this line in package.manifest:

"~/App_Plugins/ColorPalettes/modules/ng-file-upload.js"

 

In Umbraco 7.4.3 it should be fixed, so it doesn't conflict with core: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-8265
