Color Picker Field : Predefined choice of color

ACF Color picker always suggest 8 colors (below the gradient selector) to the users.
That would be nice to be able to defined those 8 suggested colors in the field options.

Usually, the client will always choose among the popular colors of the website, but may sometime need something unique.
So a basic select box won’t cut it, and a text field with color HEX is not intuitive enough.

So allowing him to easily pick one of those most used colors if needed would be a great help.

Cheers !

Thanks ractoon That’s a great help !

Feature request still stand as it would be nice to assign a unique palette to any color field by just using the color picker field options.

I just needed to do the same, tried out ractoon’s solution but it didn’t work. I managed then with the ACF method which i found on further investigation: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-custom-javascript-fields/

Hope this helps somebody else.
