# pulldownAction

The action to perform when someone clicks in the color area of the color well.

```
var pulldownAction: Selector? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Specify a custom action method to replace the system popover and color picker. For a color well with the [`NSColorWell.Style.minimal`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColorWell/Style/minimal) or [`NSColorWell.Style.expanded`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColorWell/Style/expanded) style, clicks in the color area normally display a popover with the system color picker.  If you specify a value for this property and the [`pulldownTarget`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColorWell/pulldownTarget) property, clicks in the color area execute your custom action method instead.
