Active Preview Control Faders

A system for selecting a color, the system comprising:

• a light fixture comprising at least one light source;
• and
• an active color interface communicably coupled to the light fixture, wherein the active color interface comprises:
• a hardware processor;
• a color control engine communicably coupled to the light fixture, wherein the color control engine executes instructions on the hardware processor;
• and
• a user interface communicably coupled to the color control engine, wherein the user interface displays a plurality of faders generated by the color control engine, wherein the plurality of faders comprises a plurality of selections based on the at least one light source,
• wherein each of the plurality of faders is adjusted by the color control engine based on a position of a selector among each of the plurality of selections of the plurality of faders, and
• wherein light emitted by the at least one light source corresponds to the position of each selector of the plurality of faders.

A computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code embodied therein for a method for selecting a color using active preview color faders, the method comprising:

• displaying a plurality of faders, wherein each fader of the plurality of faders comprises a selector positioned at a first selection along a range of selections for the first fader;
• controlling a light output of a light fixture to emit a first color, wherein the first color matches a first overall color that combines the first selection of the plurality of faders;
• receiving a first adjustment to the selector of a first fader of the plurality of faders, wherein the first adjustment moves the selector of the first fader from the first selection to a second selection along the range of selections for the first fader;
• adjusting, based on the first adjustment, the range of selections for each of the plurality of faders to generate a plurality of adjusted faders;
• and
• controlling the light output of the light fixture to emit a second color, wherein the second color matches a second overall color that combines the second selection of the first fader and the first selection of a remainder of the plurality of adjusted faders.
