Output Color Code as Hex in 5.7 Block View

Permalink
I am working on a block for 5.7 that uses the "hex" format for color codes as a hex (ex. #000000), instead of the RGB format.

The picker works just fine, but only renders in the RGB format. Is there a way to output the color code in hex format in the block view?

Hi growthcurve,

You can change the preferred format in the options array.

Example:
$color = Core::make('helper/form/color');
$color->output('colorValue', $colorValue, array('preferredFormat'=>'hex'));

That's exactly what I was looking for! Works perfect!

Also, you can set a custom default color by doing this: 

$color->output('colorValue', $colorValue?$colorValue:"#00adef", array('preferredFormat'=>'hex'));
