How to change Color Picker settings?

I was watching speedpaint videos and I noticed that an artist had a color picker that didn't show the smoothly blended gradient in the color picker, and instead showed a not-blended gradient. I want to try this out, but I couldn't find anywhere a tutorial or forum that shows how to change the color picker settings like this. How can I edit my settings to look like the color picker in the attached image?

As has been said, this is reduced bit depth. It was probably not like that in the actual color picker, but rather produce when copying/pasting into the video.

Her is a screen grab of a regular color picker, set to Indexed Color, Master( Adaptive) paette, 64 colors:

    

When I bring up the color picker on this, though, it is the regular color picker.

I am not sure that I can understand what you want to ask. You have uploaded a very low quality image which shows color picker when chosing color for stop in gradient. You will never see color picker with blocks of color shades because those blocks in your images come from heavy image compression / limited color palette, not from hidden feature or settings in Photoshop.

This would correspond to dramatically reduced color bit depth, perhaps as set in the operating system.

You can achieve something similar using "web colors only", or indexed color.
