New color wheel is rubbish

This new colour wheel is rubbish and so much more difficult to work with. Sure, it may integrate with other apps, but where has the ability to adjust colours by hsl gone or the individual tabs that were below the wheel for making minor changes of just a few points. Now you given the us the option to edit tint with an entire 7 different tints. What garbage. Not only that, but I also can longer open my saved palettes in the colour wheel to make adjustments. For that matter, when opening my saved palettes I only see a blank white space shown below, and those palettes that do open do not even have the colour codes on them.

      Not enjoying this new UI at all. It would be great to give us the option to use it in a “Classic” format with the color wheel over the palette.

        I completely agree. Change and modernization are expected, but removing core color wheel functionality and fine-tuned controls feels like a massive step backward. For a premium professional subscription, users expect existing workflows to be maintained and enhanced, not stripped away. I hope the team restores the classic precision tools soon.

        Hi! HSL and Lab support are returning shortly and I will update you here when that is available.

        For color editing, you can access fine tune controls by clicking on the color value and selecting from the color picker. Please let me know if you have questions on this!

        For the last screen grab, this is not the intended experience and we are investigating. See this link to see if you can access what you need here: https://www.adobe.com/files/libraries
