When using the rgb command, it would be nice to have a Color chooser to know what numbers to put in this command:
This command could be added to the 'tools' menu ('Color chooser')
By pressing that link a color spectrum would be opened, and the operator could move around within the color spectrum and choose a color he likes.
Then, all he need do is copy the 3 colors of the color spectrum he wants, and put it in this command... integer MakeColor( red, green, blue )

For instance, in the png file I have included, it a person wanted a certain shade of yellow, he would insert the following numbers into the command.
The command would then read



MakeColor (250, 244, 52)


Red - the red component of the color
Green- the green component of the color
Blue- the blue component of the color

@Bubba
Agree to that, can be handy.
Same way you drag-n-drop and image, and it auto create the loadimage, something simular can be done with the Color Chooser

Currently I'm using Freeware Colorcop.. works good sofar

@Bubba Agreed. I just switched over to AppGameKit Studio from AGK2 so with the loss of the color chooser I have been using the one in Windows PowerToys. If you're using Windows, this might come in handy:

I've never used it., but a feature added to the AppGameKit Studio IDE was a "Variable Tweaker UI"
It allows you to set a Variable as something you can change during (Debug?) Runtime including the UI to use, such-as Sliders.

These are also available in the Scene Editor (which again I've used maybe once)
The help should cover how to use said features.

With this said., personally I always have Photoshop CS open... as it lists RGB / HSL / Hex / etc.
Which is really useful when working with the RGB Command, or directly setting the value, or setting a colour in a Shader and keeping them the same.

@Loktofeit thank you for reminding me about the PowerToy for this!!!!

In the spirit of sharing, I found this nice palette online somewhere and keep it handy for quick demos or mock-ups.
