Working with the Adobe Color Picker in HSB mode


    The Adobe Color Picker lets you select a color based on the HSB (hue, saturation, brightness) color model. When you select a color in HSB mode, the RGB, Lab, CMYK, and hexadecimal values update accordingly. The HSB mode is the default mode for the Adobe Color Picker.

To work with the Adobe Color Picker in HSB mode:

  1. Open the Adobe Color Picker.
  2. In the HSB section of the dialog box, do one of the following:
    • Click the H option to display all hues in the color slider. Selecting a hue in the color slider displays the saturation and brightness range of the selected hue in the color field, with the saturation increasing from left to right and brightness increasing from bottom to top.
    • Click the S option to display all hues in the color field with their maximum brightness at the top of the color field, decreasing to their minimum at the bottom. The color slider displays the color that's selected in the color field with its maximum saturation at the top of the slider and its minimum saturation at the bottom.
    • Click the B option to display all hues in the color field with their maximum saturation at the top of the color field, decreasing to their minimum saturation at the bottom. The color slider displays the color that's selected in the color field with its maximum brightness at the top of the slider and its minimum brightness at the bottom.
  3. Select a color with a specific hue, saturation, and brightness by using a combination of the color slider and the color field or entering a numeric values in the H, S, and B text boxes.
