    In Daz where they have the color and you click on it and it brings up an RGB interface to pick your color, what are the numbers before you do that? I know they refer to a color system but i can't figure out which one or how to convert it. This was never important to me before but i want to follow a tutorial and it just shows setting using these numbers and i have no way to know the RGB values so as the copy them. Help please. Thank you much.

    If you're talking about the 1.0 1.0 1.0 before you click on it, it's the same RGB system [R - G - B] but instead of 0 - 255 as they would normally be, they're displayed at 0 - 1 values where 0.0 0.0 0.0 is black, 1.0 1.0 1.0 is white, 1.0 0.0 0.0 is red, 0.0 1.0 0.0 is green and 0.0 0.0 1.0 is blue.

    You can set the values then click on it and it'll bring up the picker with the 0 - 255 values for whatever you've set.

    What I always find tiresome is the custom colour saves.
    Rather than use a new one, it usually overwrites the first custom one saved.

    I found a new thing, you can hold SHIFT then click as example on Base color, THEN move your mouse to ANY place in your daz studio and the studio will try to pick that color!
    it can pick the color from your interface, but also from other objects, does not always work correect, I moved my mouse over my stockings (which was purple colored) but the interface gave me always white, because the color of the stockings was white, but the basecolor got from me replaced to purple.

    weird.

    I never got Colour Picker to work correctly.
    Don't know why.

    Thank you all for your responses but I'm not sure I made myself clear. If I see an example image and it says 1.00 0.70 0.70, how do i know what to put in with RGB to get the same color? I'm looking for a descent, consistent way to translate these figures. The ones we see in Daz into RGB.

    Input those in DAZ, click on them, and you get the RGB (0-255) values. Not sure how much simpler it gets than that. I'm sure you could write a converter-program that converts the floating 0.0 to 1.0 to 0 to 255 - haven't tried, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out - you'd need some measurements done to check for consistency, ofc.

    can you clarify something for me? In the tutorial, do they give the 1.0 1.0 1.0 values or the RGB values?

    One or the other, you can input them into daz studio then click on the resulting colour and it'll show you both the 1.0/1.0/1.0 values and the RGB values for that colour in the colour picker.

    It is a screen cap of Daz so it shows 1.0 1.0 1.0.

    In the select color there is no 1.0 1.0 1.0, just RGB and HSV.

    Everyone says that it is so simple. I know how to click on the color and input a new one. I'm not a newbie. What is 1.0 0.73 0.83? Does anyone know. How did you figure that out and are you sure? What converter did you use? I can only guess and guessing is not an option.

    Thank you BTW for the calculation. What is this though? What did I do wrong?

    I opened up a hair figure that has 1.0 1.0 1.0 in its surface tab and input the numbers you posted, it gave me:

    Hue 336
    Sat 35
    Val 255
    Red 255
    Green 220
    Blue 234

    Looks like a pale pink

    Edit: HA! Finally figured it out. It's sRGB colour values. So using easyrgb.com, you would switch to sRGB 0-1.0, plug in the numbers and convert = there's the baby pink

    You're right! Thank you so much. The numbers are slightly different than the manual calculation. Thanks to both of you. @Legolas18 and @Morri

    @bobdawg most welcome 🙂 I learned a thing too. It was bugging me to the point where I had to figure it out. I love this site ^_^
