# Recent Colors

## Content



By default, when the user views the [C1ColorPicker](/componentone/api/wpf/online-extended/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Extended.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Extended.C1ColorPicker.html) 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-extended/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Extended.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Extended.C1ColorPicker.ShowRecentColors.html) property sets whether or not these colors are displayed.
