How to enter custom RGB values on surface colors?

I'm a little rusty from not using Archicad in a few years but there used to be an easy way to enter custom RGB values in the surface settings but I cant seem to find how to do it anywhere.

I'm sure its right under my nose but can someone point me in the right direction?

thx!

(FYI-I have the RGB values from Sherwin Williams and want to match them for doing colors on exterior materials--I realize its not an exact match but its good enough for my purposes)

Thanks, thats the first place I went and exactly what I did but I don't get the same op-up you do. The one I get doesn't offer the option to change RGB values, here's a screenshot

Whats the trick to getting the same interface you have?

That's because you're on macOS and you get the mac version of that palette. You were really really close tho.

Click Grayscale Slider and choose RGB Sliders
