How to add Color Picker in NextJS ?

In this article, we are going to learn how we can add a color picker in NextJS. NextJS is a React-based framework. It has the power to Develop beautiful Web applications for different platforms like Windows, Linux, and mac.

import "react-color-palette/lib/css/styles.css";

export default function SkeletonLoading(){
  const [color, setColor] = useColor("hex", "#121212");
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>NextJs Color Picker - GeeksforGeeks</h2>

                   onChange={setColor} hideHSV dark />
    </div>
