django-colorinput 0.2

Quickstart

Install django-colorinput and add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    …
    'colorinput.apps.ColorInputConfig',
    …
)

Now you can use ColorField in your models:

from django.db import models

from colorinput.models import ColorField

class MyModel(models.Model):
    …
    color = ColorField(default="d0d0d0")
    …

In forms, the color field will be displayed using HTML5’s native color type input element. In your own templates, you could use the value stored in the field like this:

<span style="color: #{{ object.color }}">

… or however you want, really. Just keep in mind that the value is stored as RGB in triple HEX format without the leading “#” (hash symbol).
