Color Control

Elementor color control displays a color picker field with an alpha slider. It includes a customizable color palette that can be preset by the user. Accepts a scheme argument that allows you to set a value from the active color scheme as the default value returned by the control.

The control is defined in Control_Color class which extends Base_Data_Control class.

Note that when using the control, the type should be set using the \Elementor\Controls_Manager::COLOR constant.
