Usage Guidelines
The Telerik and Kendo UI ColorGradient requires you to follow some basic principles when using the component.
Purpose
The ColorGradient component provides users with a versatile and intuitive way to precisely adjust colors. However, it's important to consider the application context. When users need to select only from a limited set of colors, avoid the complexity of the ColorGradient. In these cases, alternatives such as the ColorPalette or ColorPicker components can provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience.
