django-colorful is an extension to the Django web framework that provides database and form color fields (only RGB atm).
Written by Simon Charette Inspired by http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1261/ Built with https://github.com/laktek/really-simple-color-picker
From PyPI:
$ pip install django-colorful
Or by downloading the source and running:
$ python setup.py install
Latest git version:
$ pip install -e git+git://github.com/charettes/django-colorful.git#egg=django-colorful
In order to use a color field you just have to add it to your model definition:
from django.db import models
from colorful.fields import RGBColorField
class Tag(models.Model)
color = RGBColorField()
There's the keyword argument colors which can be set to a list of colors that
should be visible as preset color palette:
color = RGBColorField(colors=['#FF0000', '#00FF00', '#0000FF'])
The extension will take care of providing the custom widget, just make sure you include the static files and jQuery >= 1.2.
In order to use with django.contrib.staticfiles add 'colorful' to project's INSTALLED_APPS.
