when did Roblox add the color picker

Roblox’s built-in color picker has been around for a long time, but I couldn’t verify a single “added on” date from the results I found. The clearest dated evidence shows Roblox developers discussing native color picker access in December 2017 , which means the picker was already in use by then.

What that means

• The color picker was not a recent addition in 2024 or 2025.
• It was already established by late 2017.

• For Roblox Studio specifically, the color picker appears to have existed even earlier than that, but this search only confirms it by the 2017 developer forum post.

Why the date is hard to pin down

Roblox’s color picker shows up in different places and contexts, like Studio tools, plugin APIs, and experience UI, so “the color picker” can refer to more than one feature. Because of that, a single launch date is not always easy to verify from public posts alone.

Best short answer

If you need a quick reply for a post: Roblox had a color picker by at least December 2017, and likely earlier in Studio.
