摘要

The invention relates to color selection input, for example by means of color selection wheels or pads, particularly for a lighting system. An embodiment of the invention provides a color selection input device (10) comprising—hue selection means (12) representing selectable colors in terms of hue gradation along a direction thereof, —saturation selection means (14) representing a selectable saturation gradation along a direction thereof, wherein—the hue selection means (12) and the saturation selection means (14) are arranged such that they comprise an overlapping region (16) and the saturation selection means (14) are transparent and shaded from fully transparent to fully white for visualizing a hue and saturation selection in the overlapping region (16), and—means (18) for detecting the positions of the hue selection means (12) and the saturation selection means (14) and generating a color selection signal (19) depending on the detected positions. This may make navigating through the hue and saturation color space more convenient and intuitive for users.
