How to reset Color Mixer settings?

For example, I set saturation, hue and luminosity for different tones in an image, but later I decide I want the original settings - only in the color mixer, not all ACR image settings. How do I set all tones to zero without moving each arrow to the middle?

Does the demo below do what you want? If you want to reset just the Color Mixer panel, hold down the Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) key and all the panel titles change to say Reset. Click the Color Mixel panel title with Option/Alt held down, and all the sliders reset in just that panel. Other panels are not affected.

 

 

If you want to reset just one slider in a panel, double-click the slider handle.

You can make a preset whereby the Color Mixer alone is set to default, then select that. That or any of the other panels can be 'reset' to original and default behavior again, with a preset.
