# NSColorWell.Style.expanded

A style that supports a color picker popover for fast interactions, and adds a dedicated button to display the color panel.

```
case expanded
```

## Discussion

This style displays a dedicated button and a rectangular area with the selected color. Clicks in the dedicated button always display the system color panel. Clicks in the color area display a popover with a color picker. If you specified a custom action using the [`pulldownAction`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColorWell/pulldownAction) and [`pulldownTarget`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColorWell/pulldownTarget) properties, clicks in the color area execute your action method instead.
