- Color Field
Lets you pick the first and second color component. The shape can be changed; see Types.
- Color Slider
The slider with a gradient in the background lets you define the third color component. It can also be controlled with the Wheel.

RGB, HSV/HSL, Hex
Note
In Blender, the RGB and HSV/HSL values are in Scene Linear color space, and are therefore not Gamma corrected. On the contrary, Hex are automatically Gamma corrected for the sRGB Color Space. For more information, see Color Management.

Hexadecimal (Hex) values are expressed as
RRGGBB. Shorthand hex colors are also supported asRGB, e.g. dark yellowFFCC00can be written asFC0.For operations that are capable of using the Alpha Channel, another slider “A” is added.
