Unity Colors Picker for VS Code

Adds proper color picker support for Unity Color, Color32, named colors, and Unity HTML hex colors directly inside C# scripts. This tool was made using AI, please feel free to correct or clean up anything you want :)

Features

Supports:

new Color(1f, 0f, 0f, 1f)

new Color32(255, 120, 0, 255)

Color.red

Color.green

The extension automatically:

• Detects Unity color constructors

• Opens VS Code's built-in color picker
• Updates values directly in code
