# Colors

Most of the time, when using the provided components from the Design System for French Republic (DSFR), there is no need to explicitly manipulate colors. These components are designed with a set of default colors that aim to maintain consistency and harmony across your application or website. However, when you are crafting a new component or customizing existing ones, it becomes essential to select the appropriate color scheme that aligns with the DSFR guidelines for your specific use case.

To assist you in effortlessly navigating through the DSFR color palette and selecting the perfect hues for your components, we provide you with a user-friendly color picker tool. This tool is designed to simplify the process of choosing colors that adhere to the DSFR’s design principles, ensuring that your custom components not only look visually appealing but also maintain a cohesive and unified design language.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://react-dsfr.codegouv.studio/colors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
