🎨 Color Picker

Typing #A43F8C into a text box and hoping you got the hex right is the old way. 🎨 Color Picker opens the native OS color palette - the real one, with the eye dropper - and hands your workflow the color you actually picked. For anyone tinting images, building colored masks, or driving a colorize effect, it's the difference between guessing and seeing.

What it gives you. Three tiny inputs: color_hex (default #F54927, the current value), and width/height (both default 64, up to 8192) - those size the solid swatch the node also produces. The outputs cover every way you might want the color represented:

• hex_value (STRING) - e.g. #F54927, normalized and upper-cased
• rgb_string (STRING) - "245, 73, 39", ready to paste into something that wants comma-separated values
• r, g, b (INT) - the three channels separately, so you can wire one channel into a per-channel node
• image (IMAGE) - a solid rectangle of that color, width×height, in proper ComfyUI tensor form

That last one is the sleeper feature. A solid color IMAGE is exactly what feeds a tint or a colorize blend, and it's the reason the width/height fields exist. You can pick "sky blue," get a 512×512 swatch, and blend it into a scene. For the color-pro side of this pack, it pairs naturally with effects that want a target color.

How it works. The node cleans up whatever hex you type (adds the # if missing, tolerates the short #RGB form), converts to RGB with a safe fallback to white if the string is garbage, and builds the image by tiling the RGB value into a tensor. The visual preview of the color is drawn on the node itself by the pack's JS. If you type junk into color_hex, you don't get an error - you get #FFFFFF and white on the swatch. That silent fallback is the one thing to know.

Where people get burned: mostly the quiet-fallback thing - a mistyped hex gives you white, not a warning. And the image output is a flat single-color tensor; it does not sample the color from an image. This is a picker, not a dropper into your canvas. (You'd reach for the pack's PyCode Max or a color-match node for that.)

Install. ComfyUI Manager → search "Orion4D_MetaNode", or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/orion4d/Orion4D_MetaNode

Restart ComfyUI; it's under Orion4D_MetaNode/UI Widgets. No extra dependencies.

Simple, dependable, and the only node in this pack that brings your operating system's color science into the graph.
