No way to set Gray Color

[LarsWerkman]

It is possible to set Gray Colors in a recent update I added a Saturation Bar and a Value Bar which can complement each other in making gray color, as you can see in the readme file the second photo it has the saturation bar and value bar. if the saturation bar is set to white the value bar can make every gray color.

Thank you. I've implemented the value and saturation bar instead of the svBar, and it's now possible to get a gray color out of the picker, thanks.

An issue still remains though, I've added an EditText to the picker which displays the hex code of the color, and gives the user the ability to type in a hex code manually, which the color picker then previews, via picker.setColor(). However, this has a couple of problems. I use the setColor() like this:

String hex = "#5511AA"
picker.setColor(Color.parseColor(hex));

In the onColorChanged() method, I update the EditText's text with the hex code of the color of the picker (like this: int colorInt = picker.getColor(); ). But the Color Picker has changed the color a bit, i get the same visual result, but the hex code changes, in this case to #4C00AA. It's pretty much the same color, but the changing of the hex code is gonna confuse users. Why does this happen, and how to fix it?

Second issue: When try setting the color picker to a gray color, with the hex code of say #666666, this changes to #660000. But the weird part is that the markers or dots on the saturation bar and value bar, are in the exact right position to choose this color, but somehow they aren't taking effect. If just slides the markers back and forth to the same position, i get the gray color of #666666.

I have to check to check the errors, the first error occurs because the setColor method isn't perfect and should need some work. for the second error i know why this is happening, its because i think i forgot to implement the setColor for the saturation and value bar because i was in a hurry to make it!.
Although these errors don't take to long to fix I don't have time for a few weeks. I try to fix it as soon as possible, but if you feel like helping out, that would be great ofcourse :)

Okay, I think I will give it a try, but I'm still new in developing so i'm not expecting much success. But thank you for your answer, and your work. Really appreciate it.
