What problem does it solve?

Theme color controls for Payload components are often boilerplate-heavy; this skill provides ready-to-use helpers to toggle between theme tokens and custom colors and to render values as CSS-ready strings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • createColorGroup renders a radio between theme color and custom color, plus a live token select and color picker, storing values like { source: 'theme' | 'custom', themeToken?: string, customColor?: string }.
  • createColorField provides a single, always-custom color field with a visual picker.
  • resolveColorValue front-end utility converts the stored value into a CSS color, e.g., token-based values become var(--token) and custom colors pass through unchanged.
  • Import path: import from @kilivi-dev/payloadcms-theme-management/fields/colorFieldHelpers

Quick Start

Configure a color field in a collection by importing the helpers and render the value with resolveColorValue to apply to a CSS property.
