Now I said that you're going to see the Color Picker in lots of different situations on your Mac. Now instead of having to find that color again, which you're probably never be able to find that exact same color again, you can simply click these little color chips here to select one. Let's do another one here, light green, and you can save that.
You can click and drag from this rectangle here into one of these slots and it saves it.
So let's say you pick a perfect color for some text and you're going to be reusing this color in a project you're working on a lot. So no matter which one of these you choose you can save colors. You can click and drag in there to select the color that you want. You have this Spectrum view here where it's this big rectangle filled with colors. You also have these available here in this one where you can actually choose from a pencil and choose that color. You can use color palettes here and you could simply select a color by name. You can go over to here and kind of change the brightness to something dark or desaturate it to make it a little less red. Hue saturation and brightness is very useful say if you were to select a color and say hey, that's great but it's too bright.how do I make it darker. If I wanted to make this a little more green, a little more red, I can slide these around.ĬMYK if you're used to print publishing you'll be more familiar with that than RGB. Here we can actually set the values from 0 to 255 or choose a hex color which if you do any web development you are familiar with those. We can go with a gray scale slider to choose any gray. For instance, here in Text Edit we've got these sliders here. What modes are available depends on what app you're using and what it allows. So I can look at the background here and select this as the color and you can see how it jumps to select that color there in the color wheel. If I click that I get this special tool and I can select anywhere on the screen, anything I like, as the color. If I need darker shades I simply move the slider over here and I can select darker shades. If I go to something like all the way over to the white here you can see I've got very bright colors available and I can click anywhere in here, or click and drag to move around, to select a color. If we Shift Down we can see the colors appear in the wheel. So it's just a big black circle here because we have black text and if we want to change that to a color we've got this bar here that goes from black to white. I can click it and Text Edit has its own little color selection thing where I can select a limited amount of colors or I can click Show Colors which brings up the Color Picker. In the Tool Bar there's a little color chip there.
