[scribus] HSV Colourmap picker in the Edit Colour dialogue

[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.  
I understand that you choose the hue (wavelength, frequency) from L to 
R, looping back to Red at the RH end.  And you choose saturation on the 
vertical axis, fully saturated hue at the top and completely unsaturated 
at the bottom.  In CMYK mode, you can choose value by adjusting the K 
slider, with maximum value (luminance, brightness) at the left, and 
least at the right.

But how do you adjust value in the RGB mode?  In other RGB colour 
pickers (see below), a value slider is included which adjusts all three 
RGB sliders appropriately.

Or is the HS(V?) pane intended only as a feedback device but not a picker?

Compare the Scribus HSV picker with this more intuitive wheel colour 
picker ...

... and a square colour picker ...

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

Hedley
