Tirangular color selector

One of the most hated Photoshop features is its color selector (hence why there are so many paid extensions that change its behaviour: MagicPicker, Coolorus...). The square color selector may have some sense for photographers, but it is a no-no for artists. Why? In the square version, if you choose a colour and select left or right from it, you are not maintaining the same value.
In Painter's color selector you can trust (and in the forementioned extensions developed for PS): if you select a colour you can move around knowing how the value is going to change.
I think Paintstorm, focused on artists, should have a triangular style color selector, or at least letting you choose (maybe it is already there and I don't know how to activate it?)

I hope it's been realized in the next to weeks, but it's not 100%...

Actually Photoshop color selector is hated because you have to open window each time you want to use it :P

I actually like square picker, even if I would like to have triangle one too, and circle one, ability to change modes and so on...

like for example in krita

Maybe at first we add simple triangle and hsb rgb sliders, and later add more variations.
