Using other color pickers

In addition to the default Adobe Color Picker, you can use the built-in color pickers on your system or a plug-in color picker to select colors. Any plug-in color pickers you install appear under Color Picker in the General Preferences dialog box. For information on installing and using a plug-in color picker, see the documentation that came with the plug-in.
