# `tkinter.colorchooser` — Color choosing dialog

Source code: Lib/tkinter/colorchooser.py

The `tkinter.colorchooser` module provides the `Chooser` class as an interface to the native color picker dialog. `Chooser` implements a modal color choosing dialog window. The `Chooser` class inherits from the `Dialog` class.

class tkinter.colorchooser.Chooser(master=None, **options)

  The class implementing the modal color-choosing dialog. Most applications use the `askcolor()` convenience function rather than instantiating this class directly.

tkinter.colorchooser.askcolor(color=None, **options)

  Show a modal color-choosing dialog and return the chosen color. color is the color selected when the dialog opens. The return value is a tuple `((r, g, b), hexstr)`, where `r`, `g` and `b` are the red, green and blue components as integers in the range 0–255 and hexstr is the equivalent Tk color string, such as `'#ff8000'`. If the user cancels the dialog, `(None, None)` is returned.

  Changed in version 3.10: The RGB values in the returned color are now integers in the range 0–255 instead of floats.
