Mark Alington Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 This is an image I have created to load into our desk and which I use virtually exclusively for selecting colours for fittings. The first row is a basic selection of bright colours; row 2 has a mix of colours (great for creating "random" colours); row 3 has pastels; row 4 is a fade from dark blue to white; row 5 is a traditional rainbow; row 6 is a rainbow of secondary colours; the last row is a variation of colour temperatures (great for blending with other light fittings). I created this using Visio. Please feel free to use and share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Z88 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Hi Mark, That's great, thanks for sharing. If anyone else has any colour picker images like this they find useful, feel free to add them as a reply to share them.

Davidmk Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 This topic got me thinking. Since you can upload any image to use as the colour picker I wondered if I could get Excel to generate images that are suitable. Attached you will find examples of a first attempt at this. Now, be warned, I haven't tried these in my desk yet and the proportions haven't been adjusted to match the LCD screen so it may not work as I expected (I don't think there is any way for an image file to damage anything though). There are two picker images. The two way picker has a "rainbow" down the left side and the same, but offset on the right. The intermediate colours fade from the colour on the left to the one on the right. The four way picker has different colours in the four corners, the intermediate colours in left and right columns fade from the top colour to the bottom one then the rows fade from left to right. I have also included the Excel spreadsheet so you can try some for yourself. Note that this does include macros and, while I am confident that my laptop is malware free and the code doesn't access anything outside of Excel, I accept no responsibility for any damage it may cause or be perceived to cause on your systems. Feedback on the usefulness of this would be very welcome as would suggestions to improve it. To use, set all the cells to no fill first then, for a 2 way picker, set A1 to A16 and P1 to P16 to various fill colours then click the 2 way button or, for a 4 way picker, set the four corners to different fill colours (e.g. RGBW) and click the 4 way button. You can use the Windows 10 snipping tool to save the resulting screen as an image that you can load on your desk. Picker.xlsm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Z88 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hi David, That's great, thanks for sharing. I have moved your post into this thread, so we can keep all the colour picker images together. 8 hours ago, Davidmk said: Now, be warned, I haven't tried these in my desk yet and the proportions haven't been adjusted to match the LCD screen so it may not work as I expected (I don't think there is any way for an image file to damage anything though) You won't damage the console by loading in an image file. If the file is corrupt, the console simply won't load it in. I have tested one of these images on a FLX and it loads in correctly.

kgallen Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Here's David's 4-way colour picker as above but without the selected cell aberration in case anyone wants to use these directly. Great work guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drscoop Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 This might be a bit too esoteric to be helpful for anyone else , but I'm finding this useful for a certain song from a musical about a multicoloured coat we're working towards just now... 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found with your original that the red came out a bit purple on my LEDs as the small amount of blue in your red (R=243,B=11) seemed to have quite a disproportionate effect.

Maybe that's a reason for considering a v2. Bit busy at the moment but perhaps I could take a look at that. I just used Windows R, G & B but I could do something like allow the "seed" colours to be input as RGB values. I've also been looking at hue/saturation.

Peter Wright Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Re the selection of colours, would it be possible to have at least the Lee Filter swatch book included, as in the FLX and Solution? I find this much more useful than the mood boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter, Take some screenshots from this page and assemble yourself a couple of images that can be uploaded to the image picker. Second prize I guess... Lee Filters (Chroma Order) Lee Filters (Number Order) It's a little project someone on this thread might even pick up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drscoop Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Would these help? Tried them out on our FLX S24 last night with a few RGB fresnels and some ETC Colorsource CYCs and all seemed to work ok.... First three are in Chroma, order, the fourth in numeric order bit it's a bit smaller than ideal. May be OK on a large screen with the ZerOS Remote app running.

CestM0i64 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 With all the effort of creating images here it only seemed fair to create an account to thank you all. I’m sure I’m going to be scrolling a while. I’d quite like to have some images for common themes on my desk; forest/palace/night/etc. (Forest might be a gradient of greens and yellows for example) If I create some I’ll certainly come and share them here. Thank-you again and I hope I contribute soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
