# Brok UI: Color Palette (`color-palette`)
A grid or scale strip of colour swatches with name + value labels and per-swatch copy-to-clipboard, for design-system documentation. Supports an optional heading label and a vertical scale orientation.
Brok UI is a Laravel Blade component registry. Installed components are plain Blade files the app owns.
## Install
```bash
php artisan ui:add color-palette
```
## Usage
```blade
<div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-6">
<x-ui.color-palette
label="Brand"
:columns="3"
:colors="[
['name' => 'Primary', 'value' => '#6366f1'],
['name' => 'Secondary', 'value' => '#a78bfa'],
['name' => 'Success', 'value' => '#22c55e'],
['name' => 'Warning', 'value' => '#f59e0b'],
['name' => 'Destructive', 'value' => '#ef4444'],
['name' => 'Info', 'value' => '#0ea5e9'],
]"
/>
<x-ui.color-palette
layout="scale"
label="Blue ramp"
:colors="[
['name' => '50', 'value' => '#eff6ff'],
['name' => '200', 'value' => '#bfdbfe'],
['name' => '400', 'value' => '#60a5fa'],
['name' => '600', 'value' => '#2563eb'],
['name' => '800', 'value' => '#1e40af'],
['name' => '950', 'value' => '#172554'],
]"
/>
<div class="max-w-xs">
<x-ui.color-palette
layout="scale"
orientation="vertical"
label="Slate ramp (vertical)"
:colors="[
['name' => '100', 'value' => '#f1f5f9'],
['name' => '300', 'value' => '#cbd5e1'],
['name' => '500', 'value' => '#64748b'],
['name' => '700', 'value' => '#334155'],
['name' => '900', 'value' => '#0f172a'],
]"
/>
</div>
</div>
```
## Props
- `colors` (array, default `[]`)
- `layout` (string, default `grid`)
- `columns` (int, default `3`)
- `showName` (bool, default `true`)
- `showValue` (bool, default `true`)
- `label` (mixed|null, default `null`)
- `orientation` (string, default `horizontal`)
## Use when
- Use to document, inspect, and apply design-system decisions consistently across teams and AI tooling.
- Documenting a design system's colours with their token names and values.
- Showing one hue's scale as a strip, where the steps must read in order.
## Avoid when
- Do not present token-level controls to end users who only need product functionality.
- Letting someone pick a colour; color-swatch and color-dropdown are the input controls.
- Showing a single colour, where color-token states the name and value on its own.
## Anti-patterns
- Exposing implementation tokens as product settings
## Rules
- Use the `<brok:color-palette>` tag (or `<x-ui.color-palette>`) in Blade; do not rewrite the component.
- Prefer the documented props and variants over utility-class overrides; when a utility must win, use the `!` important modifier.
- Use semantic design tokens (`bg-primary`, `text-muted-foreground`), never raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes; they are the styling and test hooks.

API
Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| colors | array | [] | |
| layout | string | grid | |
| columns | int | 3 | |
| showName | bool | true | |
| showValue | bool | true | |
| label | mixed | null | null | |
| orientation | string | horizontal |
Slots
default—
Data slots
Stable hooks for CSS overrides and browser tests.
Behavior
- layout="grid" lays the swatches out over columns; layout="scale" renders one continuous strip, which orientation turns vertical.
- showName and showValue control the two labels independently, and each swatch copies its value.
- Copy feedback respects prefers-reduced-motion.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Guidance
Inspect and govern design-system decisions.
Use when
- Use to document, inspect, and apply design-system decisions consistently across teams and AI tooling.
- Documenting a design system's colours with their token names and values.
- Showing one hue's scale as a strip, where the steps must read in order.
Avoid when
- Do not present token-level controls to end users who only need product functionality.
- Letting someone pick a colour; color-swatch and color-dropdown are the input controls.
- Showing a single colour, where color-token states the name and value on its own.
Use instead
- Product-level controls for end users
Anti-patterns
- Exposing implementation tokens as product settings
- Anatomy
- Theming hooks
Accessibility
- Keyboard
- No component-owned keyboard interaction; native element behavior applies.
- Focus
none
- The swatch set is a list, so a screen reader announces its length and position.
- Every swatch states its value as text: the colour is never the only information.
- Semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling and scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken, so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces in the preview.
- Labels go through
__()and layout uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start), so it mirrors underdir="rtl"— flip the preview to RTL to confirm. - Dark mode uses the same semantic tokens under the
darkclass; high contrast follows forced-color system tokens.
