color picker isn't consistent with other software.
Please allow users to change color picker to Photoshop color picker. Indesign is great except for the nuisance of having a horrible UI for the color picker. I make all my colors in photoshop copy the code then paste it into Indesign.

Hello All,
Starting Id 16.0 we introduced HSB in Color Picker.
Does that resolve inconsistency issue for you?
Please tell us in the comments.

Can you please implement a colour picker like Illustrator & Photoshop?
From what I read on the web, designers everywhere are doing like I do and choosing their colours using Illustrator and copying them into InDesign because the colour picker in Illustrator is easy to use while the one in InDesign is pretty much useless.
Considering that InDesign is a design application, being forced to use this primitive method is insane. Ignoring this often requested feature for so many years is also insane.
If there is a setting I'm missing, then I apologize in advance.

If I could show my level of agreement through blood, I would. @Adobe, it's odd that you wouldn't just use the same color picker from Ai or Ps. Those applications share the same color picker but you treat InDesign like a troubled foster child who's lucky to have a color picker at all.
**To be clear, it's the worst color picker in all of software.**
TextEdit has a better color picker than InDesign. If the sadness of that statement isn't motivating then let me put it this way: TextEdit has a better color picker than InDesign.

Yes!! the color picker in InDesign is incredibly hard to use. Feels like I can't even access some colors. Why is it different than the one that Illustrator uses?

The color picker in InDesign is AWFUL!!! Please use the same color picker from Photoshop and literally every other software you have.

YES! Christ... come on Adobe this is ridiculous. I have to use two programs to choose a damn color! WTH how can this still be a problem, it's like a car with a square steering wheel.

I strongly agree, using colors in InDesign isn't a pleasant experience if you are working already with Photoshop or illustrator.

As a long time photoshop and illustrator user I can't handle the InDesign color picker. For a while I would get my color code from Photoshop/illustrator then copy that color into InDesign but it's become such a pain I've stopped using InDesign all together. At least give us an option for a color swatch that matches the other designs. It's literally causing my to give up using the app completely!
