Hope everyone has a great start to 2026!

My color picker seems to keep shifting colors into the teal colors, it’s weird. I probably have sabotaged myself at the start of 2026. But after struggling a little, I feel like I can reliably pick off the color wheel. I guess we’ll see

2026 - year of not using the color picker!

oof, that’s rough. no color picker is a no go for me. I gotta have it.

Have you figured out what is causing it? Have you posted a bug report?

it isn’t easy to stop if you’ve been used to using it for a long time, but it’s possible - just gotta embrace the suck for a little while

No idea. Doesn’t happen anymore. Might have been something with Krita, or the wacom driver. I have since restarted my computer, and it doesn’t seem to happen any more (new files or even the one where I first noticed it). I’ll try a few more times, maybe it has to do with the fact that I had a reference image, but that seems incorrect - i use that feature all the time and never had problems.

but 2026 is still going to be the year without color picking … it’s been decided

what if you need to blend in between the colors though? do you just store the colors in your foreground/background color and switch between the two?

So for the portrait I have above, I put down colors with a smudge brush or a normal brush and then smudged. I’m picking colors based on lessons from Marco Bucci – treating gray as a gravity well

If I am blending, I have picked the majority of the intermediate colors.. but I’m trying to being much more deliberate (this is an exercise i used to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0Qbw7Wlsgc and what I’m revisiting now)
