🎨Color Wheel

Here's how you can let the users choose their own colors

New Color Wheel

Starting from 1.9.0, the new color wheel, ColorSelector, is now available. You can use this brand new color selector to get information about your selected color visually. You can call the OpenColorSelector() function in your code to get the new color selector.

The color selector allows you to change the color in the following modes:

• In true color mode, you can change the hue, the lighting, and the saturation by pressing the appropriate key shortcuts to change the colors.

• In 256 and 16 colors mode, you can select a color using the right and the left arrow keys. It shows you color information, including the CMYK, HSL, and grayscale values.

The following controls are available:

Key	Action
ENTER	Accept color selection
ESC	DIscard changes
H	Help page
LEFT	Reduce hue (for true color)
	Previous color (for 256 and 16 colors)
CTRL + LEFT	Reduce lightness (true color only)
RIGHT	Increase hue (for true color)
	Next color (for 256 and 16 colors)
CTRL + RIGHT	Increase lightness (true color only)
DOWN	Reduce saturation (true color only)
UP	Increase saturation (true color only)
TAB	Change color mode (true color, 256 colors, and 16 colors)
I	Shows the extended color information, including info about color deficiencies.

Old Color Wheel

This feature is available on 1.0.0 or higher. However, we discourage using it because it's obsolete and will be removed in the next Terminaux release. Obsoletion warnings were added in the last 1.x version series to guide developers to use the new color wheel.

This feature of Terminaux allows you to select a color from the color code (16 and 255 colors) or from the RGB levels (true color). It also allows you to get information about any color, similar to the color wheel function found in various web applications, including the built-in color blindness simulator located right in front of you.

For controls, the following keys do:

Key	Action
ESC	Exits the color selection
ENTER	Accepts the color selection
LEFT ARROW	Goes to the previous RGB level
RIGHT ARROW	Goes to the next RGB level
CTRL + LEFT ARROW	Decreases the color-blind severity
CTRL + RIGHT ARROW	Increases the color-blind severity
TAB	Changes the color mode (16, 255, true)
UP ARROW	Increases the current RGB value of color
DOWN ARROW	Decreases the current RGB value of color
I	Gives you more information about the colors used

By default, it starts in 16-color mode. If you want to use more than 16 colors, be sure to have a compatible console before trying to use the higher color spectrum.

When you invoke the color wheel from your application using one of the two overloads for the InputForColor() function, you'll most likely need to get its value, so you need to assign a color variable to the value of this function like so:

var myColor = ColorWheel.InputForColor();

This is assuming that you've already imported the necessary namespace at the beginning of the C# code:

using Terminaux.Colors.Wheel;

This function returns a Color instance containing necessary information. To know more about the structure of the Color class, visit the page below to learn more.
