Working with the Adobe Color Picker in RGB mode

In RGB (red, green, blue) mode, the color slider displays the range of color levels available for the selected color component (R, G, or B). The color field displays the range for the remaining two components--one on the horizontal axis, one on the vertical. For example, if you click the red component (R), the color slider displays the range of color for red (0 is at the bottom of the slider and 255 is at the top). The color field displays the values for blue on its horizontal axis and for green on its vertical axis.

To work with the Adobe Color Picker in RGB mode:

1. Open the Adobe Color Picker.
2. In the RGB section of the dialog box, do one of the following:
• Click the R option to display the red color component in the color slider with its maximum brightness (255) at the top of the slider and its minimum brightness (0) at the bottom. When the color slider is set to minimum brightness, the color field displays colors created by the green and blue color components. Using the color slider to increase the red brightness mixes more red into the colors displayed in the color field.
• Click the G option to display the green color component in the color slider with its maximum brightness (255) at the top of the slider and its minimum brightness (0) at the bottom. When the color slider is set to minimum brightness, the color field displays colors created by the red and blue color components. Using the color slider to increase the green brightness mixes more green into the colors displayed in the color field.
• Click the B option to display the blue color component in the color slider with its maximum brightness (255) at the top of the slider and its minimum brightness (0) at the bottom. When the color slider is set to minimum brightness, the color field displays colors created by the green and red color components. Using the color slider to increase the blue brightness mixes more blue into the colors displayed in the color field.
3. Select an RGB color using a combination of the color slider and the color field or entering numeric values in the R, G, and B text boxes.
