I tested this PR in the Gutenberg PR reviewer, and it works perfectly, resetting the color with a single click. I’ve also attached a video of the testing process below for reference. 67116.mp4 |

This feels like a good ergonomic addition. However I wonder if this reset button shouldn't be part of the ItemGroup component itself, rather than a separate piece like this. CC: @WordPress/gutenberg-components |
Eventually yes I think so; #64445. |
|
@jasmussen @jameskoster should we move forward with this improvement and then eventually implement the changes in the component? |
|
Component first or this use case first, I'm personally okay either way. Though I'd love a components-group chime in just to be sure we aren't building up drift. |
|
I'd lean on going use-case first, and then we can always add it as an API to the |

Can we confirm that it's better if the button is hidden by default?
I'm having second thoughts if this is good for discovery. A user might be wondering how to reset the color and wouldn't know unless they hover on the tools panel item.

The intention was to show the reset button only on hover or focus, making it easier to reset colors with fewer clicks.
From my perspective, showing the button on hover is a subtle and unobtrusive way to achieve this without adding visual clutter to the UI. As for discoverability, I think users will naturally figure it out when they try resetting colors the usual way, which should be sufficient.

From an accessibility perspective, it's important that focus shouldn't be lost. Currently in this PR, the reset button is conditionally rendered, so focus is lost when the reset button is pressed:

- If we always want the reset button to be visible: I think we need the
accessibleWhenDisabledprop because we would expect the reset button to be disabled when we press it. - If we conditionally render the reset button: When we press the reset button, we probably want to return focus to the color control.

Thanks for the update! I've confirmed that the focus is never lost.
Below are my two suggestions, but I think they are not blockers and can be addressed with follow-up.
Apply focus styling like the palette edit component, i.e. make the buttons 24px in size:
| This PR | PaletteEdit component |
|---|---|
 |
 |
We might also need a similar reset button for the ColorGradientSettingsDropdown component. For example, the Social Icons block supports two custom colors: Icon color and Icon background;

Thank you all for the reviews ✨
I had to update some styles to make it work. I also removed the border-radius of that button because by default it was having a mix, let me know if you prefer keeping that.
I can try to work on that in the coming weeks.
I went in this direction. |

I've also applied the same style to the remove button in the Shadow panel as in this PR: #67705 |

Thank you! I've applied the suggestions. |

Thank you all! |

Congrats, this is an impactful one! |

Will this same reset icon/pattern be used in other places? The whole editor could use more consistent reset controls: |
|
@cbirdsong I think adding a consistent reset pattern for the whole editor is out of the scope of this issue and will need to be discussed separately. However, a similar reset pattern will be added for color-related dropdowns in #67800. |

What?
Add an inline reset button to the color control, shown on hover/focus, if there's a value. Picked changes from this PR with a few tweaks. The original PR was closed as stale, but I believe this is a nice improvement that will improve the overall experience for creators.
Props @kevin940726
Why?
To make it easier to reset a color selection, reduce the number of clicks as it doesn't require opening the color options panel.
Fixes #41866
How?
Adding a button if there's a color value, and adjusting the CSS so that it looks like the proposed designs.
