  </div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data: () => {
    return {
      modelColor:'blue'//will become a Color object. See npm modern_color
    };
  }
};
</script>
<style>
  .swatch {
    margin-left: 5px;
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
    height: 15px;
    width: 15px;
  }
</style>

Note on input / output color

The v-model can be any css color (it will parse almost anything). Under the hood it uses the modern-color package which will convert the input to a Color instance and expose getters like css, hex, and hsl. You can import the module and set the model as a Color.parse('red') if you prefer.

Also note that the color returned can be type-coerced into its rgba(r,g,b,a) css string, but it can also be used as a color object and mutated or output in various formats. Documentation.

Disclaimer

I have not written a turn-key solution for a flyout version bound to a color input or another element. I welcome pull requests from someone who wants to write an implementation similar to how bootstrap-vue.js handles popovers and the various placement options.
