Fill color picker issue

When I double click on the fill color in the tool bar the color picker window opens. Unfortunately it is opening to a color that is not the color of my fill such as this orange here instead of the green. I am wondering if I have some sort of color theme option turned on somewhere? Any help to get this back to normal would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, felt like I was going crazy

Photoshop CS3: Color Picker Issue

Hello All,
I am having a bit of an issue with my Color Picker.
As you know, when you open up the Color Picker, it has the large square with the assortment of colors on the left and the details of the color on the right.
As of today, Photoshop won't let me use my cursor to click and select a color from within that large square. Nor can I scroll up and down the rainbow color strip on the side.
Is there a way to get those features back?
Thanks in advance.

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Color Picker Issues

I just got a new system here at work and noticed that when I select a color and bring up my color picker the color shown in it is far off from the color selected and I can not figure out why. In Photoshop, my color picker matches fine. Does anyone have any idea what the cause is?

Why are you using HSB? Just type in the RGB values of the
color you want
to use. It's a lot less complicated.

Hud color picker issue?

cs5 recently installed on mac at workplace. I don't seem to be able to switch form the wheel in preferences. Have chose strip, but still have wheel on restart of app. What I would like more is to be able to turn it off, I find it really annoying.I know if I turn off the gpu stuff it goes away, but the zoom thing is nice. Any answer?

BTW,
The HUD Color Picker is not the same as the Eyedropper tool sampling ring. I assumed you were talking about the sampling ring and wanted to turn it off. If you are talking about the HUD color picker not changing from Hue Wheel to Hue Strip, sorry for my misunderstanding. I'm not sure what might be the underlying issue for that case.
See this in the CS5 Help for more info:

Illustrator CS5 Color Picker Issue

When selecting particularly bright colors in the color picker with CMYK, when i try to select the color, one box comes up with the color and a yellow triangle error sign and another comes with a much duller shade, and no matter what I do the duller shade is what it will give me. I keep searching for solutions to this problem and everywhere it says that the color is not availiable in CMYK and it's just choosing the closest color, but the thing is, i can make the vibrant color with the color panel and it'll show up fine. It's just the color picker.

It's not a problem. You can make a lot of colors with the Color Picker which is showing which will not be translated into CMYK just as the warning says. Look at the Help files or Google "Color Gamut" to see what is available.

Develop module color picker issue...

I've noticed that in Version 3.3 that when I try to use the color picker it doesn't show the numbers (color representations) when moving the picker over an image.

This is a confirmed bug in 3.3 and has been reported.

Fill Form Example issue.

To whom it may concern,
     I've been running the C# examples and there seems to be some issue. I need to know if I'm doing something wrong or if the examples are flawed. All I've done is open the example and run it, and it will only work about 50% of the time. I downoaded the SDK today feb 7th 2011. I have stepped through the example and watch it work then step through it again not more than a few seconds later and watch it fail.
the stack trace is usually :
   at AFORMAUTLib.AFormAppClass.get_Fields()
   at FillFormCS.FillFormCS.Main(String[] args) in C:\Users\sanderjm\Desktop\Adobe\Acrobat 9 SDK\Version 1\InterAppCommunicationSupport\C#Samples\FillFormCS\FillFormCS\FillFo rmCS.cs:line 70
   at System.AppDomain._nExecuteAssembly(Assembly assembly, String[] args)
   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.HostingProcess.HostProc.RunUsersAssembly()
   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
   at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()
The code executes past this open the documant check.
if(!avDoc.Open (FORM_NAME, ""))
string szMsg = "Cannot open" + FORM_NAME + ".\n";
Console.WriteLine(szMsg);
return;
then bombs with the above exception on
IFields myFields = (IFields)formApp.Fields;
So the example thinks the document loaded but then it blows saying the document does not exist.   What is going on here?
Again this is the stock example from the examples section of the SDK.
What am I missing?
In case it matters
Windows 7 Ultimate
Acrobat 9.0
VS 2005 professional
Nothing else installed on the VM.

Drawbacks to the new CS6 Color Picker?

What do people think about the new color picker in Fireworks CS6?
I like the new larger swatches and default palette: a revised "Color Cubes" layout that includes non-web-safe colors and a selection of warm and cool greys/neutrals. I also like the option to view and enter RGB values and to specify transparency (for fill and stroke separately)
However, one thing I'm missing is the option to change the swatches from within the color picker itself. Previously, it was possible to choose from a standard set of color swatch layouts or the Swatches palette itself, via a small fly-out menu.
Now, that option is gone. The color picker simply picks up whatever palette is currently loaded into Swatches (except for masks, which still draw from a separate greyscale palette). To load a new palette into the color picker, you need to change the contents of the Swatches palette itself. This means a little less freedom for the user.
For example, if you've added a few custom swatches into your Swatches palette, but then decide you'd like to switch the color picker layout, you'll lose those custom swatches—unless you go through the extra step of saving them as a palette. Frankly, in Fireworks, I don't even know how to quickly delete a large number of swatches in order to save a custom palette like this. (The only option I'm aware of is to Command-click, which deletes a single swatch at a time; this requires a lot of patience.)
Another aspect that concerns me is the contextual nature of the Fill color picker. Accessed from the toolbar, a complete a set of fill options are offered, which is very convenient; you can quickly choose between No Fill, Solid Fill, Gradient Fill and Pattern Fill. But this is not the case when you access the Fill color picker from within the Properties Inspector. In particular, the No Fill option is missing, whereas this used to be the place to make this change. Users who to try to set the Fill to None here may wind up inadvertently sampling colors when they try to click on the No Fill option below, while the color picker is still open.
Thinking about it, there's plenty of room here; I think the No Fill option should be added back in to the color picker within the Properties Inspector—much as it's already included for Stroke.
Finally, I'm not saying that I used it a lot (I didn't), but I always liked having the Web Dither fill option; it's definitely a unique, textured look that's not commonly available in other applications. It's gone now.
The thing is, there's room for it. So why take away a feature like this?

Hi All:
Apologies for the cross-post, but I felt it important it add my message in this thread as well.
Just a note regarding the wishform. Your detailed input on that form is important and I really appreicate you taking the time to help make Fireworks a better product. So thank you for filing these bugs/concerns.
Keep in mind that even though one person may have indicated they filed the bug, you should also file your own bug on the issue if you are experiencing problems. This reporting makes the engineers aware of how prevalent the issue is and helps to prioritize which bugs get addressed first. Yes, I know, in an ideal world, they'd ALL be marked as high priority, but that's seldom the case with anything. Squeeky wheel gets the grease, etc...
While filing the bug doesn't necessarily mean you will personally hear from the engineering team, this doesn't diminish the importance of using the wishlist/bug reort form. This is a quote from the form itself:
>>We normally do not send personal replies to feature requests or bug reports. We do, however, read each and every message. We use the information to improve our products and services. Your comments, suggestions, and ideas for improvements are very important to us. We appreciate you taking the time to send us this information.<<
That said, I'm making an effort to bring these threads to the attention of the FW team, and if I hear anything myself, I'll be sure to let you know.

Color Picker Rounding Issues

The new resizable color picker panel in CC2014 doesn't work the way I'd expect it to.
At it's current size for me, I'm unable to select pure black or red.
I'd expect the hue bar to start and end at 0°/360°, but, for me, the top-most value I can select is a hue of 350°
I'd expect that when I select the topmost-rightmost color, I'd get something like #ff0000 (pure red). Instead, with my hue at 0°, I get #ff0303
I'd expect that when I select anything along the bottom, I'd get pure black #000000, but instead I get anything from #020000 to #020202
I feel that this is an oversight that will negatively impact quite a number of users.
Has anyone else noticed this, and is this something that's important to you?

Why are you using HSB? Just type in the RGB values of the

Acrobat 8:color picker for the "fill" option is no longer available.

I have Acrobat 8 and am creating a fillable form with the check box tool and text field tool. 8 of the 9 pages worked well but on the 9th page the color picker for the "fill" option is no longer available. It is still available for "Text". I cannot find the cause for this and would like to know how to reactivate the color picker. Please advise. Thanks!

Those instructions still work for me - you are selecting a free app in the store and clicking on 'create Apple id' (the instructions won't work with an existing account) when 'buying' the app ?

Cs6 color picker current & below possible issue

Could somebody please try the following and let me know if they see the same behaviour?
Create a Group, set it to Blend Mode Normal, with an empty Layer inside the Group selected and the Eyedropper Tool set to Current & Below try to pick a color from a Layer underneath.
I can’t pick up a color from there then.
Thanks in advance.

I, too, get the same result but I do not agree that the "Background" layer is considered by the Eyedropper Tool as being different to other pixel layers.
It seems to me that the ET in "Current & Below" and "Current & Below no Adjustments" modes, and the Color Picker, do not detect colours from outside the scope of a group whose blend mode is not "Pass Through". Of course, groups can be nested, and the rule appears to be that colour detection in C&B modes is restricted to the innermost non-"Pass Through" group containing the selected layer.

"color picker" window has disappeared

hi,
Could anyone tell me that why can't i open my "Color Picker" in illustrator CS5 ???
P.S Im Mac user.thank u @@
I can find my color picker in Photoshop CS5.(like pic)
But It doesnt show out in illustrator CS5...

Unlike Photoshop in Illustrator you have to double click the Fill or Stroke Colour icon in the main Tools panel or the Colour panel in order to open the Colour Picker dialog.
That could be the issue you are encountering.

Color Picker/ Color Chooser Questions

Sometimes when a pick a color from the screen using the Color Picker panel, it shows a grey triangle in the top right hand corner. What does this mean?
Also, if I have an InDesign document open, create a box and fill it using the Adobe Color Picker make a note of the CMYK and RGB values, then switch to mail, and use the Color Picker panel in Mail to pick the color from my InDesign document, the values are different. Why?

MP,
It seems that the issue is caused by a corrupt folder called en_US or similar (depending on language) within the Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder, see post #7 by Jules in this thread,
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595766
so the solution should be to move or rename that folder (or the whole Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder).
You can find the folder in Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed.
The folder can also be found through this:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
As a temporary roundabout way, you can select the lower rectangle to the right of the rainbow and DoubleClick to apply that to change the top rectangle and the values: the lower colour is the right one.

Color Picker/Window

This is crazy- and i'm guessing inexperience is keeping me from solving this:
I tried to move my small color picker/window to my other screen (dual screen set-up) and seem to have LOST it somewhere between the two screens.
For the life of me, I can't seem to get it back.
Any help?
I know, I'm an idiot

Trouble with Color Picker

I'm have a strange issue with a color I choose in color picker not matching the color the object is actually getting filled with.
If, while in color picker, the cursor is in a CMYK field when I select a color, it will show up in the rectangle as a slightly different color after I click OK. If I then open color picker again on that object, the preview color will match the color in the rectangle but the RGB values will be different from the values of the original color I wanted (CYMK stays the same).
If the cursor is in an RGB field, the color will show up a different color as well, but when I click fill on that object the color in the preview shows up as the color I wanted (and doesn't match the current fill color) and the RGB and CMYK values are the same as the ones I wanted.
Here's a screenshot of the difference in the two colors - the one I want in the preview swatch (sorry it's kind of hard to see), the one color picker fills is the color rectangle. And this has been happening for everything I try to fill, the color is generally not as bright as I want.

That's the intended behavior (clicking on one of the white squares sets your current color to that color).
To add a color to the array of colors, drag its icon from the top down onto one of the array of squares. (I'm pretty sure it's always been like this).;-)
Bonus tip: when the RGB or similar sliders are showing, hold down the Option key and click to the left or right of the slider button to increase or decrease the color in increments of one.
Hope this helps....
