HTML5 input color's default color

Question

The input type=\"color\" has a default color which is black: #000000.

Even if I give it an empty value...

Answer 1

Use value:

If you want to know if input remain unchanged, you can do something like this (with jQuery):

$(function(){
    $('input').change(function(){
       $(this).addClass('changed');
    })
})
