Color Picker - Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #49

In this video I'll show you how to use the tkinter color picker, or color chooser as it's actually called, to pick colors for your tkinter app.

Need to use colors in your app? Want your user to be able to select a color themselves? You need the colorchooser widget!

In this video I'll show you how to use it. Its pretty easy!

one suggestion
first of all pip install pyperclip

import pyperclick

and then make a button, when clicked on that it will copy that color code and user can use that in their project

syntax,
pyperclip.copy(text)

: )
hope it will help you .

Thank you Jhon!
For the import thing I guess that they are not the same that's why we type them both:
*) 1st import: 'from tkinter import *' means from the module tkinter.py import all the functions that are defined inside that module
*) 2nd import: 'from tkinter import colorchooser' means from the folder tkinter import the module colorchooser.py and inside that colorchooser.py module there is this function 'askcolor( )' so in order to use it we type 'colorchooser.askcolor( )'
So in conclusion the first tkinter is a miodule and the second one is a folder.. I hope I am not mistaken :)

that was really fun. small side note. do not use pack() when creating a widget. had some issues with the one-liner-approach

Hi! Thank you for good tutorial. 😀 Can I make the color wheel with python GUI(like the color panel of Photoshop)? Do I have to use 'matplotlib' to do it? I wanna display HSB wheel in my web application!

7:40 the 1th item... is that really the right way to say that in this context?

how can i have a bg value on main and the def of choosecolor updates the bg value on main with the color we chose
what i mean is that the window will have a default background (black is what i choose) and then pressing the button will let me choose another color.
how can i return that picked color into main function

[masonschmidt]

how do you use color chooser to replace the label with the new color instead of creating a new one each time color chooser is called?

How can I change the UI color of the color picker panel

[andrewzweden]

Dear John! can help me

The problem is I want to cut and paste the hex code
but that doesn't work (nice and easy for html css programming)

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import colorchooser
windows = Tk()
windows.title("color")
windows.geometry("200x100")

defcolor():
my_color = colorchooser.askcolor()[1]
my_label = Label(windows, text=my_color).pack(pady=10)

my_button = Button(windows, text="color",
width=10, height=1, command=color).pack()


windows.mainloop()
he puts in a label
and if I insert my_color then
and some kind of label hack doesn't work either
keep in mind you are making a fake label.

so in my code if i dont select a colour, i get an error in the console. code is
def color():
my_color = colorchooser.askcolor()

[fgstrencher]

Hey, what if I want to change the fg and de bg in the same Label?

[devenjain]

when I am clicking on the button, my tkinter window closes
