P: Colour picker does not pick 0,0,0 black

Also, I've noticed that when recording an Action and I choose 51, 51, 51, the Action has the color recorded as something like 51.003, 51.003, 51.003, - or - 50.998, 50.998, 50.998, etc.

Any clue why this is happening?

P.S. Just made a quick Action and it did it again so I'll post a screen shot.

Document color profile is sRGB.

Hey Cristen, I believe you were trying the standard colour picker, not the dockable one. (The  one you get by pressing F6). Best, J.

That's brilliant news Jeffrey - thank you very much!
All the best and greetings from Universal Pictures!

I'm able to reproduce this with 2015.1.2. I'll investigate internally. I believe this will be fixed in our next update.

I just picked 0,0,0? Do it all the time using the Hue cube. It was on a magenta. I slid the circle down to the corner as far as it would go. 0, 0, 0 in both LAB and RGB. Now in CMYK, it protects me from a toxic black. So it isn't 100,100,100,100. But that's a blessing, not a curse. Maybe you need to try again and make sure you drag off the lower left corner so the whole circle isn't visible in the cube???

I know about 20 different ways to get my colour to be 000... but I'm using the colour picker for everything. Entering a Hex-code or using a custom swatch just for black is a bit awkward.
It's a bug and I think it just needs to be fixed.

So stop doing it that way. When you want to mask hit the X key to turn the colors the solid black and white. Then mask away.
