I was watching the YouTube tutorial that appears in the link below and noticed that the author gets a color selector that doesn’t appear to me (at 2:06). I get a much more limited selector (as seen in the screenshots). I wonder if anyone could tell me how to get the better color selector. I’m on version 4.4.1 on a Mac. Many thanks!

Yes, that’s the mac color selector. There are two reasons that one is shown and not krita’s custom one. The first is that it’s not possible on macOS to pick a color outside Krita’s canvas unless this color selector is used, and the second is that mac users complained that krita’s color selector isn’t standard.
