Is it CMYK or RGB color mode?

Are you referring to the color field in the Color Picker?

Make sure you have the H: selected, selecting any of the other letter's radio buttons will change the appearance of the color field for that value.

How do you know the colors are too dark? 

Is this test image too dark (appearing or numerical)?
