      Just wanted to put this out there, in case anyone else had the same question. I wanted to use the color picker with some predefined color options. I couldn’t find anything on this site or anywhere else (but may not have searched properly). I did find a post about how to set the default palette for all color pickers (https://siteorigin.com/thread/custom-iris-picker/); but, that solution didn’t quite work. Initial colorpicker fields still showed the default options. Only when used as or in an add-more did my custom palettes show. So, not a good option; unless I have stumbled on a fixable bug.

      A little more experimentation and this is what I figured out:

      array(
    'type' => 'colorpicker'
    ,'field' => 'color-bk'
    ,'label' => 'Highlight Color'
    ,'options' => array(
        'palettes' => array('#00bbff', '#ffbb00','#aaaaaa', '#dd9933','#eeee22', '#81d742', '#ff0000')
    )
)

      This allows you to set the default colors that are displayed as options on the bottom of the color picker. I do not claim it is the most efficient or elegant solution, if you want the same default palette across multiple colorpicker fields. But it does appear to work.

      Default value can be set by value also 

      piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'colorpicker'
    ,'field' => 'colorpicker'
    ,'label' => 'Choose a color'
    ,'value' => '#aee029'
    ,'description' => 'Click in the box to select a color.'
    ,'help' => 'This is help text.'
    ,'attributes' => array(
      'class' => 'text'
    )
  ));

      Ok. Outlook ate your response and spit it out kind of wonky, and you have it marked as private here, so I cannot see it the way you intended. From what I can decode in the email, I think setting the value is what you’re proposing. That’s ok, if you only want a single default color and if you’re not using the color picker in an add-more. In add-more fields, I have not been able to get default values to work. At all. Plus, I need several default colors available for my client. So, setting the default palettes is the best solution – for me, anyway.
