jackamus Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Suddenly the colour wheel has changed to very greyish colours. How do I get back to the default colour wheel?

walt.farrell Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Are you perhaps working in grayscale instead of RGB? That would give you a "color" wheel in shades of gray.

jackamus Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yes I always work using the grey scale but at the same time I have the default colour wheel always in view. This only happened today. I did use the eye dropper to sample a grey that was on a photograph that I wanted to match. However this is something I regularly do.

walt.farrell Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Well, my color wheel is in color when I'm working in RGB or CMYK, but in shades of gray when my document is in grayscale. Out of curiosity, when working in grayscale how would one use colors in the color wheel? duskwalker 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 My apologies. What I meant was I use the grey colour swatch as well as the colour wheel. I checked by opening a new document and it defaulted to the subdude colour wheel. Presumably this means, somehow, my settings were changed. How do I get back?

jackamus Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 I discovered that when opening a new document I get the subdude colour wheel if I select 'Type: Print (press ready) I think this is where I went wrong!

Staff DWright Posted January 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi jackamus, Which document colour format are you using as if this is set to Greyscale or CMYK it will change how the colour wheel looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the built-in "Type" presets set the color format to "Gray/8" or "Gray/16", which are the only color formats that will display a grayscale color wheel in the Affinity apps. So if you see a grayscale color wheel it means you have set the document's color format to one of those two grayscale ones. To change the color format of an already open document, in Affinity Photo use the Document > Color Format menu option. In Affinity Designer, use the File > Document Setup > Color tab to do the same thing. Changing from one of the grayscale ones to one of the RGB ones or the CMYK one should immediately change the color wheel from grayscale to the appropriate color one.
