# Color Picker Field in Fluent Forms

The **Color Picker** field in Fluent Forms allows users to select a color using a **hexadecimal color format (#RRGGBB)**. This feature is helpful for customization, branding, or product selection.

This guide will walk you through adding and customizing the **Chained Select** field in Fluent Forms.

> The **Color Picker Input** field is an advanced feature of the Fluent Forms plugin. To use it, you require the **Fluent Forms Pro Add-on**.

### Adding a Color Picker Field

To learn how to add the **Color Picker Field** to Fluent Forms, follow the steps below:

First, go to the **Forms** section from the Fluent Forms Navbar, choose a desired form, and click the **Edit** icon to open the Editor page of that form.

> If you do not have any existing forms, read[Create a Form from Scratch](https://fluentforms.com/docs/how-to-create-a-form-with-fluent-forms/) or[Create a Form using Templates](https://fluentforms.com/docs/using-and-customizing-pre-built-quick-forms-in-fluent-forms/) documentation to create a new one.

Once on the **Editor** page, click the **Plus Icon** in your form editor and open the **Advanced Fields** module. You can also find this option in the right sidebar under the **Input Fields** tab.

Now, select the **Color Picker** field by **clicking** or **dragging** it and **dropping** it into your editor.

### Color Picker Field Options

Under the Input Customization tab, you will find various settings options for customizing the field. These options allow you to configure essential aspects of the **Color Picker**field.

All the settings under the **Color Picker Field** mentioned above are briefly explained below-

**A. Element Label:** This is the field title the users will see when filling out the **Color Picker**field in a form. You can enter any text here to help users understand the purpose of the field.

**B. Admin Field Label:** The admin field label is a field title displayed only to admin users. You can configure this option to show a different field label for your admin users when they view the form submissions.

**C. Placeholder:**When the input field is empty, a message is usually shown to the users so they can understand what the field expects from them. This is the equivalent of the HTML input placeholder attribute. 

**D. Default Value:** Using our shortcodes, you can manually set any fixed value in your field and pre-filled your input field dynamically. To get a better understanding of Dynamic Default Value, [read this article.](https://fluentforms.com/docs/dynamic-default-value-in-fluent-forms/) 

You can add the default value by clicking the **Three-Dot** option from the right side.

**E. Label Placement:** This option allows you to determine the position of the label title where the user will see it. The available options are **Top**, **Left**, **Right**, and **Default**. All of those are self-explanatory except the Default. 

If you select the **Default** option, it will represent your **Global** label placement settings.

**F. Required:** Decide whether users must select at least one option before submission.

### Advanced Options

Advanced settings allow further customization to meet specific use cases. All the **Settings** under the **Advanced Options**tab mentioned in the screenshot are briefly explained below –

**A. Name Attribute:** The input field’s name attribute is the HTML equivalent of the same name. You don’t need to modify this.

**B. Help Message:**This option allows you to guide your user thoroughly. Add your text here, which will be shown as a help message to the user.

**C. Container Class:** Use this option to add your custom CSS classes to the field’s wrapper.

**D. Element Class:**Add custom CSS classes to the input field.

**F. Conditional Logic:**This option allows you to create specific rules to dynamically hide/show the input field to function conditionally based on your submission values according to your set of conditional logics. To learn more, read this [Documentation](https://fluentforms.com/docs/set-up-forms-with-conditional-logic-in-fluent-forms/).
