[00:00:00.0] The color picker is (a) very powerful tool, and there are many ways to activate the color picker. [00:00:05.0] You can click on the large foreground and background swatch. [00:00:10.0] You could also click on the small foreground or background swatch in the colors palette. [00:00:15.0] It brings up the color picker, and as I was mentioning earlier, [00:00:21.0] whatever radio button you have enabled here determines what this axis is. [00:00:27.0] So currently, this is the hue axis. [00:00:29.0] I could click S for saturation. And now you can see, that at the top my color is most saturated. [00:00:38.0] And at the bottom its least saturated, turning to gray. And finally, the brightness saturation. [00:00:47.0] So it's the brightest at the top, and it's the least bright at the bottom. [00:00:51.0] And if this is my brightness axis, then I can choose hues and saturation over here. [00:01:01.0] Notice when I choose a new color, that all these numbers update. [00:01:09.0] Because what these numbers represent are different color models. [00:01:14.0] So what I am really looking at here are four different color models. [00:01:19.0] The first one is HSB, which stands for hue, saturation and brightness. [00:01:25.0] Then I have another color model. [00:01:28.0] I can choose from RGB - that's red, green and blue. [00:01:31.0] If I click that, this is now the red axis going from red to blue, the green axis, and the blue axis. [00:01:51.0] LAB stand for three different channels of information - lightness and an A axis and an a B axis. [00:02:04.0] So if I click on L for the LAB type of color model, you can see that what I have is a brightness model here. [00:02:13.0] And I have a RGB type of color space. [00:02:22.0] If I click A, you can see what this does, is [00:02:26.0] it changes my axis to a two different colors, [00:02:31.0] allowing me to pick different values over here, and similarly for B. [00:02:38.0] Finally, the last color model we can choose from is CMYK - and that stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. [00:02:47.0] K is black. [00:02:48.0] Not to be confused with blue. [00:02:50.0] And this is for a printing or a reflective color space. [00:02:55.0] If you see, this little triangle with the exclamation point in it popup, [00:03:07.0] that means that the color you currently have selected is out of the CMYK color gamut, [00:03:13.0] or color range or color collection that the CMYK type of printed technology can reproduce. [00:03:23.0] So what it has done, it says that it can offer you a close color to choose from. [00:03:30.0] If you click on the little icon here, it will bring you to this closest reproducible color in CMYK space. [00:03:38.0] And it is really not that much different. [00:03:41.0] Similarly, if you click on this cube icon, [00:03:46.0] it will take you to the closest web safe color to the color you have chosen. [00:03:51.0] And notice that this value right here is actually a web color descriptor. [00:03:59.0] One of the options that we have, if you are a web designer, is to enable only web colors. [00:04:04.0] And now you can see that it has broken up this color space into these strips, and these are all web safe colors. [00:04:14.0] If you click any one of them, notice that my web colors are updated here. [00:04:18.0] If you clicked the custom button, it will load up the pantone coded collection of colors. [00:04:29.0] And actually, this has several different types of printer premix colors you can choose from. [00:04:36.0] But I am just going to talk about the pantone coded colors. [00:04:42.0] And this is a very popular collection of premixed colors you can choose from. [00:04:48.0] And you can see that what it did (I will go back to picker), [00:04:52.0] it's taken this color and translated it into the closest pantone color. [00:04:58.0] If you have a pantone color you know, you can simply type in the number, [00:05:03.0] I will type in that number, and this is the color I am getting. [00:05:09.0] The interesting thing about pantone colors is that this is just a representation of the real color. [00:05:16.0] If you are using pantone colors, these colors cannot really be represented using the RGB monitor. [00:05:25.0] And that's the whole point, is that they are premixed colors. [00:05:28.0] Finally I wanted to mention that my favorite color model to work in, [00:05:36.0] even though Photoshop is usually an RGB or a CMYK color model, [00:05:42.0] my favorite color model to choose colors from is HSB. [00:05:47.0] And it's because I like to think in the terms of the hue, saturation and brightness. [00:05:51.0] Some people refer RGB or CMYK [00:05:54.0] But for me, I always choose HSB. [00:05:57.0] [00:05:58.0]
