Hello There,

In need of some advice on a small but frustrating problem I recently came across with Photoshop. Basically when I try to use grey as a colour, it seems to have a pink hue to it and looks terrible. The grey isn't pure and looks all sorts of wrong.

I've checked the colour settings and everything is default, my monitor seems fine as the usual grey appears perfectly on any websites. It's just on Photoshop, things simply don't look right. So I'm a bit stuck on what to do next, as anyone else had this problem before and is there a possible fix?

To better describe, I have provided a picture of the problem, as you can see the grey looks wrong and as a pink hue. I suspect this is a small problem but it is a pain and I could do with getting this fixed as soon as possible.


Thank you in advanced! Big Wink

When you are picking colors that are between white and black (without any RGB in them) you should only see half of the little circle. In the image above, there is 3/4 of the circle showing. Click where you have your color selected and drag it all the way to the left.

Regards,
Dave

Thanks Dave, Fixed the issue.

Feeling rather foolish to be honest, seems so basic. But working fine now, not sure why it was like that but at least it's fixed now.

Thanks again for the help.

No need to feel foolish, everyone runs into those sorts of things. :) Welcome aboard, SaitanMar. Hope to see you around.

Good work, Dave. :)

Thanks,

Patrick

You can also do it by entering 0 against each of CMY and then using just the K value to vary the percentage of black.
