  • Let users select a color on your form.
  • Collect color preferences for custom orders or design requests.
  • Create more interactive and personalized order forms.
  • Gather accurate color input for creative or product-related forms.

Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, adding and setting up the Advanced Color Picker widget only takes a second—here’s what to do:

  1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.
