tkinter.colorchooser — Color choosing dialog

Source code: Lib/tkinter/colorchooser.py

The tkinter.colorchooser module provides the Chooser class as an interface to the native color picker dialog. Chooser implements a modal color choosing dialog window. The Chooser class inherits from the Dialog class.

class tkinter.colorchooser.Chooser(master=None, **options)

The class implementing the modal color-choosing dialog. Most applications use the askcolor() convenience function rather than instantiating this class directly.

tkinter.colorchooser.askcolor(color=None, **options)

Show a modal color-choosing dialog and return the chosen color. color is the color selected when the dialog opens. The return value is a tuple ((r, g, b), hexstr), where r, g and b are the red, green and blue components as integers in the range 0–255 and hexstr is the equivalent Tk color string, such as '#ff8000'. If the user cancels the dialog, (None, None) is returned.

Changed in version 3.10: The RGB values in the returned color are now integers in the range 0–255 instead of floats.
