Color Picker

The only way I know how to have a colour number be displayed is to record it into a colour pallet, and have referenced labels setting turned on.

We've been toying around with concepts like that since we started work on Eos...so I would expect us to get to some cool features like that at some point in the future. 

That would be great, can't tell you how times we use the picker.  As to what Brent said, you are correct sir, unfortualy the designers don't want to give you enough time to record the C.P.s and yes we have labels active

They really can't wait for 10 seconds so you can record a pallet and label it???   ...that's a shame

Yep, bummer!  But with 5 shows in right now, they want as much lighting time as they can get, since they don't get much, would rather just record has man, which isn't a problem till they want to verify what color 501 is in.

Ryan,

Are you hoping for a picture of the color to show up in the tombstone?  Obviously, there can't be a meaningful name to every one of the nearly infinite colors you can get from the picker.

  I fully see your point though, and it gives me the opportunity to restate my wish for for the Encoder labels to show up on the live screen.  A color wheel has a label for each frame that is reflected on the encoder screen (as well as with most of the other NPs),  Right now, you have to call up the fixture to see that info.  If you call up two fixtures, or a group, with different color info, you don't see any of it.  Yes it's pretty easy to make color pallettes of your color wheels and such, but it seems redundant if the encoders already have that info.  Then you can spend your pallette making time on multiple parameter stuff.
