More information: This is a very sophisticated color space toolbox close to completion. I don't think I'll ever be able to call it final for commercial purposes, but I do intend on using these controls (or future modifications) in my own applications, they are good enough for me.

Included are two Active-X controls: ColorSpace; a very versatile palette / color-picker, and ValueSlider; which lets you pick from ranges of Red, Green, Blue, Hue, Saturation, Value, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow or shades of a color. It automatically updates with the tones, very nice display (sort of like photoshop). The ColorSpace control can be either a Wheel or rectangular, using HSV computations. Virtually every equation takes the color into HSV space before computations are done, which is part of the reason why they aren't particularly accurate in an RGB setting such as the desktop.
