This package doesn't need any setting.

Models

Just add color field(s) to your models like this:

You can provide a palette to choose from to the widget by using the field choices

from django.db import models

class MyModel(model.Model):

    COLOR_CHOICES = [
        ("#FFFFFF", "white"),
        ("#000000", "black")
    ]

    color = ColorField(choices=COLOR_CHOICES)

The admin will kindly provide a simple color picker for all color fields. :)
