It's just a box of pencils and you can click on the pencil to choose a specific color. I'm going to skip to the last one here which is probably the simplest way to pick a color. You can also go to grayscale just to pick a gray color as a percentage. You can also switch to cyan, magenta, yellow, and black or hue, saturation, and brightness and set an angle for the hue and percentages for saturation and brightness. So you can set the hex color directly here. This is also handy if you ever use hex colors which you see commonly if you're a web developer. You can set the value for each one of these colors. So we'll start with looking at the red, green, and blue sliders. The next tab here shows color sliders and you have several different sets of sliders you can show. You can also set the opacity because this element can be semi-transparent. All the way to the left and it's full bright colors. So if you set it all the way to the right the entire color wheel becomes black. The first one is the Color Wheel and you can click anywhere in this wheel to set a color. Now there are five different tabs by default in the Color Picker. If you look at Fill here in the right sidebar, expand it and you can see the colors here and you can click the color wheel to bring up the Color Picker. So let's use this box here in Pages as an example. You can go in here to choose a color and then if you click More Colors it brings up the Mac Color Picker. Even Microsoft Word, on the Mac, uses Color Picker. It even puts a little dark theme on it and has some extras as well. For instance in Pixelmator I can click here and then click Show Colors and it brings up the Color Picker as well. The Color Picker is used in third party apps. In Mail I can click here and bring up a limited set of color chips and show colors to bring up the Color Picker. But this little color wheel here, if I click on that, then that brings up the Color Picker. For instance it's here in Pages if I want to change the text color, you see I can click here and bring up some color chips. So on your Mac you're going to see the Mac Color Picker everywhere.
