description

A simple interactive RGB/HSV color selector modelled after Gimp2 RGB/HSV color selector. Needs gvim and :set nocp (and probably a high-color display). Usage: :so colorsel.vim and :ColorSel [color] starts the color selector.  The optional color argument can be in rrggbb or rgb form or a CSS named color. j, k (or arrows) change active channel. h, l (or arrows), b, w (or pgdown, pgup), 0, $ (or home, end) change channel values (by 1, by `word' and to 0/maximum). y yanks the current color as #rrggbb to the unnamed register, "xy to register x. "xp/"xP gets the color from register x. x swaps the current and alternate color. q immediately quits. The swatch and slider sizes are configurable, palettes and alternate colors can be switched off, see the source.

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
colorsel.vim	20090505	2009-05-05	6.0	David Necas	Colours can be stored to a palette (vim registers are used for that).  The colour swatch can be split to show an alternate colour.  Vim 6.2 is required now.  A few small bugs were fixed.  (Enhancements thanks to Ingo Karkat.)
colorsel.vim	20090428	2009-04-28	6.0	David Necas	ColorSel can be run with an rgb argument (in addition to rrggbb) or with a named color argument (basic CSS colors are supported).  If it is run with a bogus argument, the color is set to black. Improvements thanks to Martin Junger.
colorsel.vim	20051121	2005-11-21	6.0	David Necas	Compatibility with Vim 7 was fixed (thanks to Markus Trenkwalder).
colorsel.vim	20040416	2004-04-16	6.0	David Necas	ColorSel now accepts an optional rrggbb color argument (with optional # prefix) to set the color to (either in an existing selector or when creating a new one). Thanks to Thomas Link for the idea.
