Fine-tuning your color picking

Color Picker

Now most modo users would already know there are various ways you can select colors, such as dragging left or right in the color field to adjust the colour, or by typing in a specific RGB value, or by clicking in the field and bringing up the colour wheel where you can type in a color using hexadecimal values or simply eyeball a color by simply clicking inside the wheel.

But what's unique is if you just click and drag inside the color field whilst holding down Shift, Ctrl or Alt you can move around the colour wheel and fine tune your colours.

  • Shift - click and drag - cycles through Hues
  • Ctrl - click and drag - adjusts Values
  • Alt - click and drag - adjusts Saturation
