Specifying a color using numeric values
In the Adobe Color Picker, you can select a color in any of the four color models by specifying numeric values for each color component.
To specify a color using numeric values: Do one of the following: - (Photoshop) In CMYK color mode (the mode PostScript printers use), specify each component value as a percentage of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
- In RGB color mode (the mode your monitor uses), specify component values from 0 to 255 (0 is black, and 255 is the pure color).
- In HSB color mode, specify saturation and brightness as percentages; specify hue as an angle from 0° to 360° that corresponds to a location on the color wheel. For more information on the color wheel, see Using the color wheel.
- Enter a hexadecimal value in the # text box. For example, 000000 is black, ffffff is white, and ff0000 is red. For more information on describing a color using hexadecimal values, see Working with hexadecimal values for color.
- (Photoshop) In Lab mode, enter a lightness value (L) from 0 to 100 and A (green to magenta) and B (blue to yellow) values from -128 to +127.
