The concept behind the 3D color picker is the visual representation of 3D "colorspace." Any 24-bit color can be represented as an RGB (255 x 255 x 255 = 16,777,216 total colors) value. The RGB color picker takes each of these three values and plots it as its own axis. The result is a cube that is 255 colors long on each side and contains within it every possible 24-bit color.

buttons to activate a slicing tool that will allow you to slice the cube along any axis. Simply press the relevant button and then use your cursor to pick the point on the cube where you would like to slice. If you are on a desktop, you will see a dotted guide-line when you mouse over the cube.
button to reset the cube to its original (255 x 255 x 255) dimensions after slicing it. The button will also clear out a color selection, if one has been made.While RGB can represent any 24-bit color, some might find the RGB scheme itself non-intuitive. For instance, slicing along a particular value of the "R" axis will not produce a cross-section that is equally red to the human eye. Although it can represent fewer colors (3,492,722 total colors), our HSL Color Picker provides a more intuitive way to zero in on a desired color. Take a look!
The 3D color picker, built on the d3 JavaScript library, is a powerful example of the advanced type of data visualizations that Infinity Insight's dedicated extension development team can create! To see the tool in action in a Qlik Sense application, and/or to integrate it into your own application, simply:
