Use the color value
The current color is shown as HEX, RGB, and HSL. Copy the format you need with its copy control. HEX values can also be entered or pasted directly.
Tune it on the wheel
Open the wheel with the triangle button. Use the outer ring for hue and the inner square for saturation and brightness. The strip on the left offers brightness variations of the current color.
