color

Color controls what color is active on the color picker. You can use this to initialize the color picker with a particular color, or to keep it in sync with the state of a parent component.

Color accepts either a string of a hex color '#333' or a object of rgb or hsl values { r: 51, g: 51, b: 51 } or { h: 0, s: 0, l: .10 }. Both rgb and hsl will also take a a: 1 value for alpha. You can also use transparent.

import React from 'react';
import { SketchPicker } from 'react-color';

class Component extends React.Component {
  state = {
    background: '#fff',
  };

  handleChangeComplete = (color) => {
    this.setState({ background: color.hex });
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <SketchPicker
        color={ this.state.background }
        onChangeComplete={ this.handleChangeComplete }
      />
    );
  }
}

In this case, the color picker will initialize with the color #fff. When the color is changed, handleChangeComplete will fire and set the new color to state.
