Standard Colors on the Command Line under Color 10/#

It would be helpful for the Standard Colors in the color picker to be accessible from the command line with the syntax of Color 10/#, so 2700K could either be Color 10/1 or Color 10/2700, and 6500K would be either Color 10/39 or Color 10/6500. 

I prefer to have the Gel Picker unticked in my Tab27 Color Picker, as I can access all the real Gel numbers from the command line, and that gives more room for the great CIExy and Spectrum tools. However since I can't access the Standard Colors, specifically the CCTs, from the command line I still have to have it ticked in my Tab27

This also makes it harder to incorporate them into Macros, needing to learn the color selection live, and not being able to decipher what color it is once it is in the Macro as the SET_CHAN_LEVEL command string

Thanks,

  • Bump.

    Would love to see this implemented. There has been a similar feature request 3 years ago with 10 upvotes.

    Additionally, I think the Standard colors should behave like the other Color Gels, leaving a reference in live summary view, so it is obvious what color is currently selected. 
    Currently my standard color workflow is, the second I pick a standard color, I store a color palette with the exact same name (eg. "2700k") just so that the designer and I can, at a glance, see what color we are currently on. Otherwise, there's a cryptic + in summary view and sometimes I can't even remember what exact color we are on currently, since it might have been a couple of minutes. 

    As for syntax the prefix 10/ would be logical but I also think 0/ could work nicely, saving one keystroke. 
    For Color Temperature 0/2700 (->2700k) works nicely in my opinion. 
    For Color Controls, it gets a bit tricky. Personally, I would give every fully saturated color currently available a number (Red=1, Orange=2, Yellow=3.... all the way up to 12 for Pink) and then add the saturation after. So 0/125 (Or maybe even 0/1/25 ) would be 25% Red and 0/350 would be 50% Yellow. White could be 0/0 if we are thinking of it as a color and not as infinite color temperature.
