Create Color Inputs in Pine

Sep 17, 2020

A new input.color type for input() allows coders to provide script users with color selection through the script’s Settings/Inputs tab with the same color widget used throughout the TradingView user interface.

See in the example below how input.color is used to provide script users with a choice of label colors:

//@version=4
study("Input color example", overlay=true)
color c_up = input(color.green, "Color Up", type = input.color)
color c_down = input(color.red, "Color Down", type = input.color)
l = label.new(bar_index, na)
if close >= open
    label.set_text(l, "green")
    label.set_color(l, c_up)
    label.set_yloc(l, yloc.belowbar)
    label.set_style(l, label.style_labelup)
else
    label.set_text(l, "red")
    label.set_color(l, c_down)
    label.set_yloc(l, yloc.abovebar)
    label.set_style(l, label.style_labeldown)

The default value for the color input can be any color from the standard palette, or one you create yourself: using color.new(color.green, 50) or #F0000080 for example. Your script users will also be able to select any combination of color/transparency through the color widget.
