Kendo colour picker not accepting RGB(x,x,x) string.

[Sean]

<div class="k-block">
    <div class="k-header k-shadow"><span class="k-icon k-i-pencil"></span>Employee Colour</div>
    <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(x => x.BackgroundColour)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @(Html.Kendo().ColorPicker().Name("BackgroundColour").Palette(ColorPickerPalette.Basic).Value(Model.BackgroundColour))
            @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.BackgroundColourInput, new { @class = "editor-colour"})
        </div>
        <br />
        <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(x => x.TextColour)
        </div>
    <div class="editor-field">
        @(Html.Kendo().ColorPicker().Name("TextColour").Palette(ColorPickerPalette.Basic).Value(Model.TextColour))
         @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.TextColourInput, new { @class = "editor-colour"})
    </div>
    <br/>
</div>

I'm using the code above to load a colour picker, the Model.BackgroundColour and Model.TextColour are strings as below:

rgb(0,255,255)

but when the form loads, the initial colour is always black, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please, as looking at the documentation it seems this should work. I should also point out that passing a string as below:

#00FFFF

does work.

Thanks.

Hi Sean,


I managed to reproduce the issue on my side too and I have escalated it to the development team for fixing. As a small sign of gratitude I also updated your Telerik points.
