Setting the Color

Selected color: #FFFF00

Pick Color(Current Color is #FFFF00)

You can get or set the SelectedColor using the client-side API, using the set_selectedColor(value) or get_selectedColor() method.

Note: The client-side value is always in Hexadecimal format.

In code behind use the SelectedColor property. The selected value has a different CSS class applied to it. When the ShowIcon property is set to true the SelectedColor property will be filled in the icon.
