# Quick Start: ColorPicker for WPF

## Content



The following quick start guide is intended to get you up and running with **ColorPicker for WPF**. In this quick start you'll start in Visual Studio and create a new project, add **ColorPicker for WPF** controls to your application, and customize the appearance and behavior of the controls.

You will create a simple project using two C1ColorPicker controls and a standard **Rectangle** control. The C1ColorPicker controls will control a gradient that is applied to the **Rectangle**, so that choosing colors at run time will change the colors of the gradient – letting you explore the possibilities of using **ColorPicker for WPF**.
