# Color Picker

1. [OPTIS Product Options, Variant](/product-options)

# Color Picker

A **Color Picker** lets customers pick any color they want, using a color wheel or a hex code - not just from a predefined list.

**Plan:** **Color picker** is available on the **Advanced** plan and above. On the Free plan you can still try it on one live product with a Premium option set. See [Plans and feature availability](/product-options/getting-started/plans-and-features).

## When to use a Color Picker

* Home decor with paint color options.

## How to add a Color Picker option
### Step 1: Add the option

### Step 2: Name it

### Show or hide with Visibility (conditional logic)
