The Color Editor contains a color wheel for selecting a color, color picker for grabbing a color, transparent color for creating a custom eraser, and buttons for accessing HSL, RGB, and Randomize (certain versions) sliders, and the color swatches.
We are in the process of enhancing the Color Editor across all platforms. iOS version 5.2 includes the first release of new Color Editor features, and development work is in progress for Android, Mac and Windows.
Show/hide parts of the editor
In different versions of Sketchbook, sections of the editor can be hidden to reduce the amount of canvas space taken up. When a section is needed, just unhide it. Some versions use arrows 
for accessing parts of the editor. Others have bars that can be dragged up or down to expose more or less of the editor. Others use buttons, such as 
and 
to show/hide sections.
