Speed Through the Color Ramp
When you’re using the Color palette, there’s a ramp (spectrum) at the bottom of the palette where you can click directly on any color within the currently selected color model (RGB, LAB, or CMYK). You change which color model is selected by choosing it from the palette’s flyout menu, but there’s an even faster way—just Shift-click anywhere in the ramp, and the next color model will appear in the ramp.
