Color picker changed settings

I'm used to having my color picker look like this:

Then one day, it changed to this and I would like it to go back to the default as seen above. Thanks!

Hi there - the first screenshot you posted shows the color picker in the HSB color model, the second screenshot is in RGB. Have you tried clicking on the "H" bubble to switch back to HSB?
Here's an article on using the color picker in Adobe Illustrator that you might find helpful: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-628da .html

Color picker changes no longer preview?

I often choose the color for a selected object by manipulating the color in the picker while viewing the object to see the actual result before clicking OK on the color once it's right.
I just upgraded to CC from CS5, and this no longer seems to work - I have to make my best guess on the color based on the color picker swatch, and then approve it to see the results and then re-open the picker to try another shade. This is completely blowing up my workflow - sliding the cursor around in the picker lets me fine tune very carefully, and it might take many iterations through the pick/approve/preview cycle to get exactly the color I want, instead of one quick smooth trip to the picker. It's literally an order of magnitude or more time to do it this way.
Worse, because it takes so long, I find myself accepting colors that are "close enough" rather than go through a lot more iterations to really fine-tune it like I can in seconds in CS5.
I confess I haven't really searched the UI/prefs to turn this on since there's no Preview option checkbox in the color picker, which is where I would expect to find it. If there is a way to restore the color picker preview functionality, I will be grateful to learn how to do so.
Is this crimping anyone else's style as much as it is mine? I like CC a lot, but this one is a major step backward for me.

This is very likely an issue for your web server. For example, you should configure the DNS settings of your web server such that www.myDomain.com and myDomain.com have the same IP address. If you are using virtual hosting, then you will have to add myDomain.com as an alias of www.myDomain.com in the web server's configuration file.

Color Picker changed

Hopefully somebody can help me. one day i opened photoshop and my color pick was diifernt from the default. it looks like this.
can any one tell me how to change it back?

No problem. However, I see you have full Photoshop, and you know, this forum is for Photoshop Elements, the consumer version. For more involved questions you might want to bookmark the photoshop/mac forum, where you'll find better answers to anything that's photoshop-only:

Color picker changes as soon as I touch a slider

I select a Pantone color in the color picker. I switch to view the CMYK sliders to make a small adjustment. As soon as I touch one of the sliders the color sample changes to a darker shade even though the CMYK values ahve not changed. Doesn't happen if I touch a RGB sliders.
This happens using the Apple color picker in Photoshop no matter what color management I am using, also in Freehand.

Have you tried typing and saving using Notes or word processing Apps before sending message?

Help please - color picker is gone in photoshop cs4

for some reason, when i saved files as gif, i could not reopen them. i would get some error message. so i read somewhere to shut down photoshop and restart it while holding down the ctrl + alt+ shift keys to reset it to all the defaults.
i did this but now when i click the foreground or background color squares at the bottom of the toolbar, i get some stupid color window with 48 Basic Color squares and a couple likes of blank squares for Custom Colors.
no matter what i try resetting, i can no longer get the color picker and i have no way of finding hex colors.
does anyone know where my color picker window has gone!
thank you!

thank you chris.
that windows vs adobe color picker seems like a very well kept secret.
even if someone knew EXACTLY what to search for: "change color picker"
-- only the page you mentioned and one other
(http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-troubleshooting/4946-color-picker-change.htm l)
mentions the Windows vs. Adobe option.
the other 8 results that come up on page 1 of google for "change color
picker" make no mention of the Windows color picker option.

Relationship of color picker with the adjustment layers ...

Do you know why the color of color picker changes when using adjustment layers?

The color of the color picker changes to black and white because adjustment layers have masks and they only operate with black, white, and grays in between.

Font Colors & Color Picker Problem

Why won't the color picker change my font color? It has worked for months and today it won't.
[Title Edited for clarity - Hunt]

Reset the tool. In v11 & v12 it is at the right of the Tool Options panel at the bottom - a down arrow next to four horizontal lines. In earlier versions at the left of the tool options at the top of the screen.

Color Picker won't change the color properly?

Hi guys,
I have a weird issue with the color. When I changed the color from dark green to bright lime green on Color Picker. The Color Picker show the specific color I want and then I click "OK". It did not change the dark green to bright lime green... instead it show the dull green color. It is really bugging me because I can't figured it what wrong with it. I checked the Color Mode (RGB mode) and Color Setting... everything seems to be right to me.
Here is the quick screenshot:
I also tested with other color, it still have the same problem. They won't show the bright color, it show the dull color instead.
I hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks,
Christie

OK, a few more thought on this.
Here's what I did and everyone can check for themselves. I made a screen capture of the Color picker and paste it in a RGB and also a CMYK document as shown on the images below. In the CMYK document this converts the RGB color values of the screen capture into the CMYK color space of the document and the colors in the palette are displayed within the document's gamut. If you take the eyedropper and click on any color of the palette on the image you will never get out of gamut colors and this is how they should be displayed in the real Color Picker. The Color picker can still display in a little box out of gamut color if they are selected numerically using the RGB or HSB models but the point is that the display of the palette should be converted to a CMYK color space.
In the RGB document on the second image, like in the real picker, clicking on the palette with the eyedropper will give a lot of out of gamut colors.
Now thinking about out of gamut colors. Illustrator decides what is out of gamut colors by comparing the color space of a CMYK document to the working RGB color space set in the Color Settings and for an RGB document to the working CMYK space in the Color Settings. But this is not practical all the time because it is one way only from RGB to CMYK and can not be set from CMYK to RGB, RGB to RGB, and CMYK to CMYK.
CMYK to RGB example: you may have a document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space and one of its destinations is an sRGB color space. Because you can't set CMYK to RGB for out of gamut consideration, Illustrator will consider out of gamut all sRGB colors that are outside the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space. But in this case your destination is sRGB and all colors from the sRGB color space should be presented in gamut and there is actually a small part of the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 colors that are outside of the sRGB color space and only these colors should be shown as out of gamut.
RGB to RGB example: your document is set in Adobe RGB color space because it will be eventually printed to several RGB printers some of which may have narrower gamut than the document. Then you want to set Illustrator to display out of gamut only the colors in the Adobe RGB color space that the RGB printer can't print, but unfortunately this is not possible even if you have the color profile of the printer.
CMYK to CMYK example: you may have a document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space but one of its destinations is U.S Web Uncoated v2, or US Newsprint, again not possible.
So, in all these examples, the out of gamut colors Illustrator gives in the Color picker and panel are completely useless. Of course the major tool for these tasks remains the soft proofing which is working properly but why not make the out of gamut colors in the Color picker and panel work better and make more sense.

How to change the color picker/color space view?

I wanted to change the color picker/color space view to what it looks like in the other Adobe programs. I have gotten used to using the color picker from the other programs and I have had problems with the look and function of this color view.
In InDesign the color picker looks like this:
And the Photoshop/Illustrator/etc. looks like this:
I've tried changing the "Convert To Profile..." and the Transparency Blend Space, but neither have done anything to what I want to be done.
Is there some way to change this in InDesign?
Note: I want to change the looks of the gradient-like area if that isn't obvious.

I was wanting to do the same change as you, until I saw your two images.
Within the InDesign image you've selected a dark blue colour (R:16, G:49, B:152) AND you've got the (R)ed channel selected.
Within the Photoshop image you've selected a white colour(R:255, G:255, B:255) AND you've got the (H)ue channel selected.
In Photoshop I can recreate both of your images by having the same settings for RGB/CMYK and selecting the same channel item as you have in those images.
That's all.
There is no difference between the two colour selection dialogs except where the HSB, RGB, CMYK and LAB are placed.

Color Picker in Flash CS6 Changing My Picked Color

Program: Flash CS6
OS: Mountain Lion
Hardware: Intel MacBook Pro 2012
Steps to recreate issue:
1. Paint a color on the stage (brown seems to have the most dramatic results)
2. Use the color picker to sample the (brown) color from the stage
3. Use the paint bucket to apply the selected color to the stage
Result: the color painted from the sample color is not the color that has been originally sampled.
If you then sample the new color you have just applied, it again changes the color. Repeating this process over and over again eventually turns the color into the brightest red on the color palette.
Is anyone else have this issue or know how to correct it?
UPDATED: Attached is a link to the video of the issue in progress. For whatever reason my cursor doesnt show up correctly in the video, but what I am doing is using the color picker to sample the color and then painting the sampled color. As you can see from the video, the color becomes more and more red until it maxs out, even though I am just sampling the same color over and over again. The color on the left is the control color (the one that I originally sample) and the color on the right illustrates the bug.

I'm updating this thread mainly because it's the only thread I could find that describes my exact issue. I am having this problem. When I select a color using the color picker, it settles on a different, lighter color. THIS HAPPENS EVEN WHEN I ENTER THE HEX CODE VALUE. It's like Flash is auto-correcting a problem that doesn't exist. Help? This is becoming a serious problem for me!
Also Flash CS6, Mac OS X (10.8.2). The monitor I'm using shouldn't be relevant; Flash is literally changing the hex code value after I type it in or select it.
EDIT: Just did some research, found out that Flash isn't 10.8 compatible. When is that going to be fixed?

CS5 extended color picker want to change format

Color picker box has changed. I would like to change it back so tones are in big box on left and colors or hues in small box on right

Here is the link to the information that was helpful to me: http://planetphotoshop.com/color-picker-versatility.html
I had deselected the H button (on the right hand box with descending order of H S B I had instead selected the S button and so the format
that came up consistently was for Saturation instead of Hue.

Color Picker Layout changed ?

I see on Photoshop, the color picker has changed.
http://cl.ly/image/061O2a471y1u
I need to go back to my old one, as here there is no way to get the HEX color code.
How to change it ?

You can find your answer here Re: No Hexadecimal value in color picker?!
You must be working with a 32 bit/channel image or 3D - convert to 8 or 16 and you should see the normal picker.

Changing one color stop of a gradient with color picker

Hi. Is there a way to change just one color stop in a gradient by eyedropping a color on your art board? I know you can go to the color picker but it won't let you choose something on the canvas. Also I know I can make a swatch and drag it into the gradient, but really who wants to do that if you can just eyedropper that sucker! any thoughts? thanks!

When the color stop in the gradient is selected, take the eyedropper, press shift and click on the color you want applied to the stop.
Pressing shift means sometimes that colors will be converted through color management though. For example when clicking on a placed photo.

Using the color picker component to change background is coving up the rest of the elements

Hello,
I am trying to learn some scripting for components.
I have a bunch of stuff working and I got the color picker component to change the color of a movie clip and another one to change the text color.
I have another script that does the background color, but, when I use it with this script, it covers up the other components.
How can I use the color picker to change the background color of the stage without covering up the the movie elements?
Here are the two scripts:
script one-works fine on the 2 elements it is targeting
import fl.events.*;
import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent;
myColPic.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE,changeHandler);
function changeHandler(event:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    var colorInfo:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;
    colorInfo.color = event.color;
    myBox.transform.colorTransform = colorInfo;
    trace(event.target.hexValue);
myTextPic.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE,changeText);
function changeText(event:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    var colorTypeInfo:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;
    colorTypeInfo.color = event.color;
    myType.transform.colorTransform = colorTypeInfo;
    trace(event.target.hexValue);
Script 2-works fine in an empty movie, but if I add it to the script above, those elements get hidden..
import fl.controls.ColorPicker;
import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent;
var bg:Sprite = new Sprite();
bg.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
bg.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
bg.graphics.endFill();
addChild(bg);
var colorPicker:ColorPicker = new ColorPicker();
colorPicker.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE, colorPicker_change);
colorPicker.move(10, 10);
addChild(colorPicker);
function colorPicker_change(evt:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    bg.graphics.beginFill(evt.color);
    bg.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
    bg.graphics.endFill();
Granted, I they are changing colors differently, but I am not sure how to change the stage color any other way with this component.
any thoughts out there?
thanks
babs

Thanks kglad!!!
