Specifying colors in Panorama

[Robert Ameeti]

In Panorama's color chooser accessed via the 
Choose Color from the Graphics menu, I am finding 
that for a 'frilly pink', HSB values of 320°, 
10%, 100% using the sliders gives me the light 
pink that I want. But when I click OK, the darker 
purplish color that becomes the Form background 
color is an ugly color that would send a bride to 
the wailing wall. Is this just my perception or 
are others also getting a large color shift 
between the selector and the actual form 
background color. I really do want a light frilly 
pink. Thoughts?

Sorry guys, My error. I was remembering that 
Apple had a Color Wheel as a Desk Accessory and 
could find no equivalent within the systems 
offerings and forgot that Panorama had it own 
implementation of this.

Being a names and numbers guy, I hadn't gone that 
route for too long a time and missed that. Thanks 
Scott.

Ah yes, the hidden Control key option. I was 
wanting to set the Form Color but didn't think of 
the Control key. Thanks David.

What is that about? Where does the larger range 
numbering system come from? Is it really more 
precise or just the same with more digits?
