ColorPalette

Usage Guidelines

The Telerik and Kendo UI ColorPalette requires you to follow some basic principles when using the component.

Number of Tiles

When implementing color selection tools in your user interface, it's important to balance between offering a useful array of options and not overwhelming users. The ColorPalette component provides a valuable solution by offering a predefined set of harmonious colors to assist the users with design and customization tasks. However, it's equally important to ensure that users aren't inundated with an excessive number of color options, as this can lead to decision fatigue and design inconsistencies. In cases where a wider range of colors is required, use the ColorPicker or ColorGradient component instead.

DoUse the ColorPalette to provide users with a predefined set of harmonious colors for design or customization.

Don'tAvoid overwhelming users with too many color options in the ColorPalette, as it can lead to decision fatigue and design inconsistency. Use ColorPicker or ColorGradient component instead.

Tile Size

When implementing the ColorPalette component, it's crucial to consider the size of the color tiles for an optimal user experience.

DoUse the default size of the ColorPalette tiles for optimal readability and user-friendly interactions.

Don'tAvoid excessively reducing the size of the ColorPalette tiles, as this can affect the overall usability, making it challenging for users to perceive and distinguish colors effectively.
