The Material Editor Color Picker is a simple and fast tool for choosing colors. The small circle on the outer colored wheel lets the user rotate the triangle inside, choosing the hue. The second circle allows you to choose value and brightness within the hue selected. You can also specify the color in HSV, RGB or XYZ coordinates, using the “radio buttons” below the chromatic graph.

The color chips on the right side can be used to store commonly used colors. Drag & drop a color from the large color chips at the bottom of the Color Picker to one of the color chips on the right to store a color. 

The two large color chips at the bottom of the color picker allow you to compare the previously selected color with a new one. The left color chip updates to show the currently selected color in the colored wheel. The right color chip shows the previous color that was selected when the Color Picker was opened.

If you want to create a gray desaturated color, just type one value on one numeric field and hold the Shift button while you click Enter. This propagates your value to all the fields, producing a gray color.
