ColourMod :: Dynamic (DHTML) Color Picker

The Man In Blue also known as Cameron Adams gave a presentation at Web Essentials ‘05 about Javascript and the DOM. I wish I could have been there to hear it (and to see Australia again). Instead I got to just read his presentation outline, which really never does a presentation justic.

While reading the outline, I was very pleased to see that ColourMod made it into one of his examples under the “Innovation” section of his presentation. Here’s what he had to say:

Some data cannot be easily modelled by text input – a normal user would have no idea what hex colour values were, so the method in which they choose a colour naturally relies upon visual choice, but how do you allow them to choose any of 16 million colours?

Notice the correct way of spelling the word ‘colour’.
