Color Picker for iOS - Get DRColorPicker Now

Top Color Picker for iOS

I’m pleased to announce that I am open-sourcing the color picker I built for You Doodle under the MIT license. I call this the DRColorPicker (Digital Ruby Color Picker). I spent dozens of hours creating and refining this color picker. You can use it in just about any app imaginable. DRColorPicker let’s you do anything with colors. Manage favorites, import textures, pick by RGB and more! DRColorPicker is available via Cocoa Pods or github.

I’ve used many color pickers in the last few years. I’ve tried to take the best of each and combine them into DRColorPicker.

DRColorPicker is a world class color picker for iOS. Here is the full list of features:

Supports any resolution, portrait and landscape, and works on iPhone and iPad
Allows favorite colors, recent colors, colors by hue, color wheel or import of texture
Color wheel shows the RGB color and allows changing the color by typing an RGB value
Alpha of color can be changed
State is saved and loaded automatically to / from a JSON file, textures are saved to files
Textures can be stored in JPEG 2000 (default) or PNG
Texture de-duplication ensures that only one version of each texture is stored
Favorites can be managed by long-tapping on a color
Imports colors from the NEO Color Picker automatically
Works great on iOS 6 and iOS 7 (and iOS 8).

Requirements:

iOS 6 or greater
ARC enabled for the color picker source code
Modules enabled for the project (i.e. @import …)

Cocoa pods:

pod 'DRColorPicker'

Manual install:

To use the color picker in your project, simply add the DRColorPickerExample/DRColorPicker folder to your iOS project. The DRColorPickerExample folder contains a sample project with a view controller that will show you how to setup and display the color picker.
