Hello!

Trying to make some nodes for lighting fixtures, I realized that the color picker outputs 8-bit values instead of a 16/32bit reals from 0-1. Is there a way to increase this to 16-bit values?

Cheers!

If you open the input editor

If you open the input editor and select the "Color Sliders" tab, then pick "RGB Sliders" and (under the "…" or settings menu) "Show color value as: Floating point", you can type in a value with greater-than-8-bit-precision, and it outputs a correspondingly-accurate color.

Internally Vuo's Color type represents each RGB component as a 32-bit float. The port popover's "Normalized" row only shows 3 decimal places precision, but the underlying data is there, as you can see from the output of Get RGB Color Values.
