Abstract
The invention relates to button based color navigation in a lighting or visualization system, particularly for allowing fast and slow navigation through the colors in a lighting or visualization system only by usage of buttons. For the navigation, a device (10; 50) is provided which comprises several buttons (14,16, 18, 20, 22, 24,- 52, 54) arranged in predetermined order (12,-56), wherein each of the buttons is provided for a certain color of the system to be selected. Presses of one or more buttons (S10) are sensed, parameters of the sensed presses (S12) are evaluated, and a color in the system is changed depending on the evaluation of the parameters (S14, S16, S18, S20).
