You can can define each color as a string, but if you need more refinement pass an array instead of an string. This array needs at least a color
entry and all others are optional. Any invalid color will be silently ignored.
Option | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
color |
string | required | Valid colors are defined by the regular expression #?{[0-9a-fA-F]{3}|[0-9a-fA-F]{6}} |
name |
string | empty string | Pretty self-explanatory |
alpha |
int | 100 |
An integer between 0 and 100 |
status |
int | kt_Central_Palette::COLOR_ACTIVE |
kt_Central_Palette::COLOR_ACTIVE or kt_Central_Palette::COLOR_INACTIVE |
index |
int | auto | See further down for details |
Merge Threshold and Palette Indices
Each color has an unique index that is used to generate CSS class names for WordPress’ new Block Editor. These indices maintain the relation between a color and a block. In order to minimize chaos that can arise when a palette is set it is merged with the current one in order to reuse indices. To determine if an index should be reused new colors are checked against current ones and if found close enough that index is reused. You can set this merge threshold by passing an additional second argument between 0 and 100, whereby 0 means an exact match and 100 any. The default is 0.25, so quite a close match is needed. If a merge threshold is set any indices that are set through the index
entry of a color will be ignored.
If you do not want for any merge to happen simply pass false
as second argument. In that case make sure your colors have unique indices or none at all. The method does not check for index collisions. In any case a color missing an index is automatically assigned one.
