System Information
Windows 10 Home 1909, HP laptop
AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (latest driver)

Blender Version
Broken: 2.92.0 on forward thru last night's beta (de718605558f) and alpha (452a7f673190).
Worked: 2.91.0 and prior (checked intermittently back thru 2.83.0, Reloaded Factory Defaults each time), worked as expected

Short description of error
In the Shader Editor the default Color Picker says that H 0.00 S 0.00 V 0.50 (half of the scale) is a significantly lighter gray than it should be (according to the Color Picker page in the latest manual, and industry standard), much higher on the value slider than the midpoint.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
To reproduce select the Default Cube, go into the Shader Editor, and pull up the Color Picker in any node that'll access it (the Principled BSDF node, for example). In the HSV tab's Value field type 0.50 and enter, observe the Value slider on the right of the Color Picker.

additional info

Hi @KickAir8p, thank you for the report.

This was an intentional change, and therefore isn’t considered a bug. See {https://developer.blender.org/rBf193b1afb313bcb937a396f09da2b9903a0d2fc3} I’ll close this report as per the tracker’s policy.

Sorry, I didn’t notice that the manual had yet to be updated, I’ll reopen this as a documentation task.

Evan Wilson changed title from ~~Shader Editor, default Color Picker, HSV tab, Value Slider is Wrong~~ to Shader Editor, default Color Picker, HSV tab, V 0.5 screenshot is Wrong in the manual.

The Color Picker page is no longer accurate.

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/interface/controls/templates/color_picker.html

The Blender Artists topic I linked above also contains examples of confusion in use:

Thx!
