 the control that craft can provide a user is what makes it stand out as a content management system but sometimes we want to limit what a user can choose from craft has a built in color field which allows a user to select any color from a color picker there are times when we only want a user to choose from a select number of colors though previously we have done this by using a dropdown with a list of colors but i decided to build a plugin to allow a user to select from an admin defined set of colors
