Use the Color Puck for a quick access way to mix and create new colors.

The Color Puck in Sketchbook Pro for desktop

If the puck is not visible you can access it by going to the menu bar and selecting Window > Color Puck.

Drag within the puck to change luminance and saturation.

To change the active color, tap the center of the puck. This opens the mini Color Wheel. It also provides access to Transparent Color, the Color Picker, and a mini color palette. Add the active color to the palette by dragging the swatch down into one of the nine spaces. Note that this palette is separate from the palettes available in the Custom Colors window.

The Color Puck in Sketchbook for mobile devices

Sketchbook on mobile doesn't have a separate color and brush puck, but has the Double Puck, which has combined them.

1. Brush size and opacity
2. Current brush
3. Current color

Use the lower half to change the saturation and luminance/brightness of a color. Drag within this area. See Creating custom colors. Tap the center of the bottom section to access the Color Editor and change hue, luminance, and saturation.
