KColorChooser only supports RGB, HSV and HEX outputs? What happened to HSL, LCH, LUV, LAB, CMY, CMYK, XYZ and YXY?

apps.kde.org/kcolorchooser/

@textovervideo It's just the (crappy) default Qt color dialog, would not recommend for anything but basic stuff 🙂

@rodlie any recommendations for an advance color picker for Linux?

@Aisyk @textovervideo @rodlie Do you happen to know if these tools pick the correct color when KDE has "dim inactive windows" enabled?

As in: the original color, nor the dimmed color.

@ascherbaum @Aisyk @rodlie I am not sure if they pick the correct color, but when I want to find the KDE colors defined in any KDE theme, I look in the KDE settings where they are defined.

@textovervideo @Aisyk @rodlie I want to pick a color in a window on my desktop. As example in a movie currently playing.

This does not work with dimming enabled: when I click "pick color" in kcolorpicker, then this window is active and the movie player is inactive (and dimmed). And kcolorpicker then picks the dimmed color. Very annoying.

@ascherbaum @Aisyk @rodlie But I do agree with you that it is annoying when things do not work as expected.
