Description Jo 2015-11-09 11:14:25 UTC
i think the foreground color isnt used very well, most users rely all the time on the color picker only, wherever 2d application i look. Obviously, for a good reason, but lets see to overhaul old patterns.

With the right transformations, the fg color could become a seamless, mutable, self sufficient and useful color resource

example.
# more/less saturation  = already coded
# more/less value  = already coded
# complementary color
# warmer/colder color

those transformations, if reversed, return the original color input. 

We need only a way to do this transformations less with shortcuts,(too clumsy) more with the help of UI elements or widgets, IMO, for example displaying a color ring around the fg color if we mouseover on it, but again IMO.

There is some ambiguity to the definition of complementary - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

Warmer/colder can be interpreted differently as well - you probably want something along the Mired scale instead of e.g. black-body radiatation:

thanks for your feedback and questions!

#with complementary colors i meant the RYB color model 

#And mireds could work as well i think, which is computer science i understand less, to be honest. black-body radiatation looks far more complicate at a first look.

modifications on the input color should be incremental - meaning, if i repeat the same step again, the result should be x n
