[scribus] HSV colour picker

[Hedley Finger]

In the Edit Colour dialogue, you can choose either a number of different 
swatch collections or the HSV-Colourmap.

Compared to other similar colour pickers, I find this baffling to use.  
The displayed spectrum appears to be fully saturated at the top and 
fully desaturated at the bottom.  But where is the Value (Luminance, 
Lightness, Brightness) slider?  How is one supposed to set value, 
particularly when the entire colourmap will darken when you click in it 
and drag the X cross-hair around?  Or is it intended as a feedback 
device but not a picker?

Here is a much more user-friendly wheel colour picker ...

... and a square colour picker ...

Or am I missing something about the HSV-Colourmap in the Edit Colour  
dialogue?

Regards,
Hedley
