Using other color pickers

In addition to the default Adobe Photoshop Color
Picker, you can use the built-in color picker on
your system or a plug-in color picker to select
colors. Any plug-in color pickers you install appear
under Color Picker in the General Preferences
dialog box. For information on installing and
using a plug-in color picker, see the documen-
tation that came with the plug-in.
To use the Windows Color Picker:
Choose File > Preferences > General.

The Windows Color Picker lets you select colors
from an array of basic colors or define up to 16
custom colors based on the HSB or the RGB color
model, but it does not alert you to nonprintable
colors.
To choose a color from the Basic Colors palette,
4
click the color you want.
To specify a custom color, click Define Custom
5
Colors to open the Custom Color Selector. This
dialog box functions similarly to the Adobe
Photoshop Color Picker. Specify a color by using
the color field and color slider or by entering
numerical values for each color component.
The new color is displayed on the left side of the
Color/Solid box. The right side of this box displays
the solid color closest to the color you have
specified. (You can choose the displayed solid
color by double-clicking the right side of the box.)
