Color Picker¶
Circle HSV.
The color picker is a pop-up that lets you define a color value.

Wheel. - Color space
Selects the Color Space for the number buttons below.
RGB, HSV/HSL, Hex
- Color values
Blender uses (0 to 1.0) values to express colors for RGB and HSV colors.
Hexadecimal (Hex) values are expressed as RRGGBB. Shorthand hex colors are also supported as RGB, e.g. dark-yellow FFCC00, can be written as FC0.
For operations that are capable of using Alpha, another slider “A” is added.
- Eyedropper
- The Eyedropper (pipette icon) can be used to sample a color value from inside the Blender window.
Note
Blender corrects Gamma by default
For more information about how to disable Gamma correction in Blender, see: Color Management and Exposure page.
