The Color Selector Needs to be Made More Precise
It's hard to get the colors you want, because there are 100 different possibilities for each bar. Don't reduce it, but you could put buttons on the ends that you can click to move the slider by 1 point at a time.

Indeed, that could make selecting colors easier, so support. Or, we could also have the ability to use the arrow keys to move pixel by pixel.

Indeed. That could be better than buttons, too. Indeed, that could make selecting colors easier, so support. Or, we could also have the ability to use the arrow keys to move pixel by pixel.

Sometimes I even slide the color to, say, 50, and then when I check back, I see it was set to 51. The arrow key suggestion is good, but I've also thought maybe you could just manually type in the number.

That'd also be a great way to do it. Support.

Hey, that too! That'd be another way to select an accurate value. Support.

Support!
This would be soooo handy! The 3.0 color selection thing can be a little difficult sometimes and this would help a lot.

I support inserting the numbers, but I don't support the arrows/arrow keys simply because it just clutters it up.

Both of those ideas sound great to me! Indeed, that could make selecting colors easier, so support. Or, we could also have the ability to use the arrow keys to move pixel by pixel.
An artwork (bitmap) of mine was once messed up because there are two different colors at 50,100,100!

support it would make the
<touching color [#1b37da] ?>block easier to use because then you can actually make it precise without spending ages trying

I agree. not much else to say about it, although i believe that typing it in would be better than arrow keys here.

I agree. Turbowarp has manually typing in the numbers. The arrow key suggestion is good, but I've also thought maybe you could just manually type in the number.

Support
Arrow keys/buttons and manually typing number are great suggestions
It will make editing sprites and coding easier!
Before someone will give those reason for “no support”:

Before someone will give those reason for “no support”:
- “But this will confuse new scratchers/children” - It won't. I don't think they can't type numbers or use buttons…
- (for manually typing numbers) “But what about decimals? What Scratch will do?” - We have 2 options: 1. Scratch will round those numbers 2. Scratch will accept those numbers (yes, that's possible - trust me)
- (for arrows) “What about UI?” - It will be changed - that's all…
- “Don't delete sliders” - they won't be deleted… this suggestion is not replacing sliders
