Color Picker

Appropriate and effective terminology is necessary while describing color for digital domain. The most important components categorized under this are HSB that is Hue, Saturation and Brightness. Use color picker for checking the colors being used in the image.

Move to Color Picker, then go to foreground swatch of tools palette.

Hue: Choose the color that you need in the vertical color bar (often placed in the color picker’s center) in order to view the color ranges from that range of hue. Do consider the number available next to radio button ‘H’ over the top. The 6 primary along with secondary colors are placed exactly at distance of 60 degree among them starting from 0°Red then 60° Yellow then 120° Green and so on. A specific degree or number is assigned to every hue which between 0°-360°. Other values of Saturation and Brightness remain unaffected by any changes being made in the other bar.

Saturation and Brightness: For choosing the values of brightness and saturation, select the larger squared shaped box positioned in the left side of the bar. Increase in saturation results when the circle selected is pushed towards the rightward direction of the box and lowers down when the same is moved towards left. Similar is the case with brightness but in slightly different way. It increases when moved towards the top and lowers when moved at the bottom side of the box. With any of the changes, hue remains unaffected.
