Do you mean the Interface type (in Sony/SCS versions, Use Vegas color scheme or not)?

+1 @michael-harrison & @vkmast

I need more from you, @cronnin ?

You mean generated media, solid color? Yes, you can select a color

I don't quite understand what this is, and how to select color.

This seems to be 4 variable system with two dimensional color plane and two sliders, but this is so cryptic. The number system is alos useless, values seems to go from 0 to 1? so if I want RGb (100, 100, 100) that would be

255:1 = 100 :x

x= 100/255 = 0.39

I simply can't do this whenewer I change the color of something. Is there any way to change this into standard RGB color mode of 8 bits and 256 values?

Are you able to change that "HSV" to another mode that works better?

@cronnin The color tool has no idea what colorspace you're working in. Floating point 0-1 is a universal way to specify how far up the color range you want your color.

@fr0sty Yes, choosing RGB, separate gives three color sliders, but still inconclusive. The values go from 0-1 in decimal.

@michael-harrison Even now, 7 years later, most of people use 24 bit RGB color displays, TVs, graphics cards, cables, etc. One would expect that to be a default option.

With HDR/Rec2020 and in turn 10 bit displays quickly becoming the standard, to the point where most new TVs support it and you can buy 50" 10 bit panels for $400, basing it on 8 bit Rec709 values will be obsolete within a few years.

@fr0sty I'm aware of that, but this is Vegas 13, and still, how do I translate anything from standard color space. If you have to match anything with a digital design done in PS or AI and you only have HEX and RGB values.

Use the eyedropper color sampler tool.

Yep, have to split screen between Vegas and Photoshop. Then it's possible.
