Color Enum

Is there any way I can use the Color Enum of Canvas App as a input property to my control? I saw the Enum type but it seems like I need to define all the values for Enum first which obviously is not a simple job in this case. Is there any solution for this?

Thanks

Hello @ansrikanth ,
Unfortunately Canvas Color enums are not supported in PowerApps components. Those are only supported in legacy Canvas controls.

Thank you, so I guess I just need to rely on my component users that they will enter a valid color string (at least for now), no other alternatives. Am I right?

That is correct. For now, you could do something like the following:

And use a regular expression such as
/^#([0-9a-f]{3}){1,2}$/i
to validate that the input is valid before continuing.
