RGB Sliders
Each of the RGB sliders is a band of red, green, or blue (the primary light
colors) shaded from black to the full intensity of the color. When you move
any slider, it mixes with the values of the other two, and the result appears
in the swatch beneath the sliders.
For example, if you move the Red slider all the way to the right (value 255)
and leave the other two at the left (0), the active swatch turns red. If you then
move the Green slider all the way to the right, the swatch turns yellow. If you
move all three sliders to 0, the result is black; if all three are at 255, the result
is white; and all three at any point of equal value produce shades of gray.
HSV Sliders
If you prefer the hue/saturation/value color system, you can use the HSV
sliders to mix color. First move the Hue slider to the color band you want (if
the Value and Saturation sliders are set to low values, you don't see an
immediate result in the swatch). Move the Value slider to set the brightness,
