I like it. ;-) And I think it's obvious enough to users who are
experienced enough to configure colors. Even the default of HSB
instead of RGB is better for them I guess.

I also always tended to make dialogs more compact, but in the end they
look less confusing if you add some greater margins and spaces. It
looks a bit crowded in test.png IMO (e.g. the up/down arrows of the
numinputs) and stresses your visual system more than neccessary. ;-)

That would be very nice. Or provide more tabs for HSB like now, a
color-wheel or other possible input methods. Also if you do the
sliders like in hsv.png, you should start with the current brightness
slider as it is working and presents a better preview because its
broader.
