Selecting a color from the spectrum ramp

- In this movie, we'll take a look…at the Spectrum Ramp,…which is this guy right here.…It resides at the bottom of the Color Panel.…And what it allows you to do…is quickly lift a color.…So, for example, if you want a shade of blue,…you could just drop your cursor down…into the Spectrum Ramp…and then click on a shade of blue, like so.…And that'll just go ahead and lift those values…and then you can make any modifications…that you like.…Now, you're not gonna get that much of a selection…when the ramp is this tiny.…And so if you think you're gonna use it very often,…you may wanna drag down on the bottom…of the Color Panel like so…in order to increase the size of that ramp.…

And that way, as you click and drag inside the ramp,…you're gonna see pretty minute changes…to, in my case, the hue and saturation values.…Now, notice if you hover your cursor over this area,…it's gonna read HSB spectrum,…assuming that you're seeing the HSB sliders.…If you click on the fly-out menu icon…and switch to RGB,…you're not gonna see any difference whatsoever…
