Today, we are going to take a look at how to create an interactive color picker using javascript, css, and html. There are a number of color picker packages out there on the web, but there isn't nearly as much on how to write one yourself and the mechanics behind how it works. Hopefully, after reading this article, you would be able to go off and write one yourself.
This tutorial builds on a number of other javascript articles on this site, including Javascript Objects - A Useful Example (which covers some basics about how objects work in javascript - and we will be using the color object created in that tutorial), Javascript - Working With Events (which covers how to work with events and event objects), and Javascript - Draggable Elements (which covers how to do dragging in javascript). So, if you are relatively new to javascript, I would suggest at least skimming those before you continue.
