# Recent Colors

## Content



By default, when the user views the C1ColorPicker control's **Basic** tab at run time, along with the selected color palette and the standard color palette, the tab includes a section that lists recently picked colors:

If you choose, you can turn the display of recent colors off. The [C1ColorPicker.ShowRecentColors](/componentone/api/wpf/online-colorpicker5/dotnet-api/C1.WPF.ColorPicker/C1.WPF.ColorPicker.C1ColorPicker.ShowRecentColors.html) property sets whether or not these colors are displayed. For more information and an example, see [Hiding Recent Colors](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-colorpicker5/C1ColorPicker_Task-Based_Help/HidingRecentColors).
