The Colour Picker window opens.

  • Select either Red, Green, Blue, Hue, Saturarion of Value to change the colour wheel's spectrum, then click on the desired colour in the colour wheel.
  • Enter the hue, saturation, value, red, green and blue values manually into their corresponding fields. All values range from 0 to 255.

  • Click the Dropper button to select any colour on your screen. It can be from the Harmony interface, your operating system or any other open application.

You can also click Multi Wheel Mode to open the Multiwheel Colour window. This displays all the picking area styles together and also contains a picking undo list. To return to the regular Colour Picker window, click Single Wheel Mode.

By default, when you create a new colour swatch, its colour will be the same as the currently selected colour swatch, or black if no colour swatch is selected. You can make Harmony create new colour swatches with a specific default colour instead.
