COLOR WHEEL
:
The color wheel lets you create the exact color that fits your needs. The black lines in the wheel cross at your preselected color, acting like a pointer. Drag this pointer with the mouse and position it exactly where needed.
BRIGHTNESS
SLIDER :
The slider at the right of the wheel displays a selection of values, from light to dark, for the selected color in the color wheel. Drag the slider up or down to adjust the brightness.
RGB / HSB
:
Two ways of adjusting colors are available. Selecting the RGB radio button enables you to modify the amount of red, green and blue in your color, then adjust the red, green and blue fields. Selecting the HSB radio button enables you to modify hue, saturation and brightness of your color, then adjust the hue, saturation and brightness fields.
RED / HUE
:
Selecting the RGB or HSB radio buttons will toggle between both those values.
If the RGB button is selected, this area will display a number that corresponds to the amount of red to be added to a color. The arrows at the right of this area will be used to increase or decrease this number.
The area contains no red when the number shows 0. The value 255 means the color contains the maximum amount of red possible.
If the HSB button is selected this area will display a number representing hue or position of a color along the circumference of the wheel. The values range from 0 to 360 to represent mixtures of red, green and blue.
GREEN /
SATURATION :
Selecting the RGB or HSB radio buttons will toggle between both those values.
If the RGB button is selected, this area will display a number that corresponds to the amount of green to be added to a color. The arrows at the right of this area will be used to increase or decrease this number.
The area contains no green when the number shows 0. The value 255 means the color contains the maximum amount of green possible.
If you selected the HSB radio button, this field shows a number representing color saturation. Saturation indicates a measurement of the color's distance from white, at the center of the color wheel, or the length of the radius pointing to the color from the center of the wheel. Saturation ranges from 0 to 100. A low number in this field means a large amount of white. The value 100 means the color contains the maximum amount of hue possible, and is along the outer edge of the color wheel.
BLUE /
BRIGHTNESS :
Selecting the RGB or HSB radio buttons will toggle between both those values.
If the RGB button is selected, this area will display a number that corresponds to the amount of blue to be added to a color. The arrows at the right of this area will be used to increase or decrease this number.
The area contains no blue when the number shows 0. The value 255 means the color contains the maximum amount of blue possible.
If you selected the HSB radio button, this field shows a number representing color brightness. A value of 0 in this field means maximum darkness. The value 100 means maximum lightness.
You may increase or decrease the brightness by using the appropriate arrows or adjusting the slider.
