Custom Color Widths… Base, Secondary and Accent

Advanced Color Picker and Color Wheel

The new advanced color picker in COPASO allows for even more precise color selection. You have hue, saturation and brightness sliders as well as input areas for Hex, RGB, HSV and CMYK color values. Also built into the advanced color picker are gradient step filters that will allow you to see any color with steps towards white or with steps towards black. To work with any of the colors in this filter, simply click and drag the filter color strip to the right of the color wheel onto your scratch area. Below the picker is our color wheel and color formula filters. By selecting one of the formula filters (Blend, Complementary, Triadic Tetradic or Split Complementary) the color wheel will allow you to spin the selected color around by clicking anywhere on the wheel. Once you’ve found some great colors in the preview bar on the right, all you need to do is drag the bar to your scratch area to begin using those colors. Double-clicking any of the color squares in the preview bar will update the main color picker to that color and give you a new perspective on your selected color filters.

As mentioned above, we’re very proud of COPASO and hope you’ll find it very useful for all your professional and hobby color projects. COPASO couldn’t have been built without the expert programming of Chris Williams and the design work of Stephen Hallgren. Last but not least the hundreds of thousands of COLOURlovers who have helped us build and grow our color community and who’ve provided us with great advice, suggestions and inspiration over the years.

Happy COLOURloving!
