thats a bug - they should be color fields

ok happy to find it

color field is not being processed properly... I'm looking into it.

it appears that either color form field is severely broken or it's been severely changed and there is no documentation on how it functions now.
perhaps @C-Lodder or @wilsonge can shed some light on this.
while "simple" control type functions rudimentarily its the only one other then hue that does.

@N6REJ The CSS file jquery.minicolors.css isn't being loaded which is why the colour fields don't have the square swatch to open the colour pallette. Not sure why if I'm honest. The asset is calling the minicolors dependency correctly from what I can see.

It works if you use HTMLHelper as per below:

HTMLHelper::_('stylesheet', 'vendor/minicolors/jquery.minicolors.css', ['version' => 'auto', 'relative' => true]);
HTMLHelper::_('script', 'vendor/minicolors/jquery.minicolors.min.js', ['version' => 'auto', 'relative' => true]);
HTMLHelper::_('script', 'system/fields/color-field-adv-init.min.js', ['version' => 'auto', 'relative' => true]);

so it could potentially be a bug within the web asset manager

@C-Lodder any documentation on how the field functions now?

https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Web_Assets

there was changes for it #27884
are you sure you run npm install?

I meant in how the color field is used now. It's not at all like the docs state.

Oh sorry the colour field. I'm not sure if there are docs for all types of colour fields
