Working with colors and materials

The Color Picker offers many ways to select colors:
• The Color (hue) wheel and Saturation and Lightness box let you
select and preview a color.
• The Basic Colors panel displays commonly used colors.
• RGB or HSL values let you choose a color based on its red, green,
and blue values or its hue, saturation, and lightness values.
• HTML color code lets you enter HTML color values.
• The Color Picker lets you select a color from the active image.
By default, Corel PaintShop Pro displays decimal (base 10) numbers in
the Color Picker. You can also display hexadecimal (base 16) numbers
— the format of HTML color codes.
