HSV Color Picker?

Could someone please tell me if InDesign has allows creating colors using HSV values? I dn't see it in the picker.
Also, this may be a dumb question, but could someone please tell me if there's a way to search one particular forum?  The top left corner of the this forum shows a magnifying glass, but it seems you have to search all forums at once and can't limit it to one particular forum.  Thank you!

    This is a long shot, but do you know if there's a way to link the RGB values to make it possible to lighten or darken a color without changing hue?

    In case you missed it in the link Uwe posted, use the L radio button with a & b set to 0. In that case the slider next to the color field will change the lightness value while keeping the color neutral. The L radio button is similar to H in an HSB model

    InDesign doesn't do HSB.

    Wow, that's surprising. This is a long shot, but do you know if there's a way to link the RGB values to make it possible to lighten or darken a color without changing hue? Or is there some trick for this, short of overlaying a transparent copy of the shape or text object in black or white?  I imagine the best work-around would be to translate the color values in a software that offers HSB as well as RGB/CMYK and copy them into InDesign.
