# Default Value

By default, the ColorPicker value is not set and the popup is hidden.

To set the initial value that is rendered by the ColorPicker, set the [`defaultValue`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/colorpickerprops#defaultvalue) property. As a result, the component displays a value upon its initial render while remaining in an uncontrolled state.
