# NSColorPickingCustom

A set of methods that provides a way to add color pickers—custom user interfaces for color selection—to an app’s color panel.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol NSColorPickingCustom : NSColorPickingDefault
```

## Overview

Overview NSColorPickingCustom works with the NSColorPickingDefault protocol—which provides basic behavior for a color picker—to enable custom color pickers. note: This protocol must be implemented by a custom picker, or an error will occur.
