The default value for a Linear Color parameter inside a Blueprint function parameter is a text field instead of a color picker and RGBA floats It should display the color picker and allow to enter RGBA values manually. **Current Default Value Input** [http://puu.sh/gRjzR/8ba32a5226.png](http://puu.sh/gRjzR/8ba32a5226.png) **Expected Default Value Input** [http://puu.sh/gRjGM/2bcbc6a170.png](http://puu.sh/gRjGM/2bcbc6a170.png) ---

hello rudy, for example in 4.14.3 that issue is still present. if u pick a linear color as input eg in an event or function, there is no colorpicker to set a default value. instead there is just a box that will accept text. i tried to put the HexLinear or HexsRGB as a value in there but it does not accept these either. hope that helps to narrow down the issue. ![123485-inputlinearcolorbug.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/4/b/94bc4d55b29cfcc7d6e09cc973f0add09642701e.png) ---

For anyone wondering how to type in value in field presented in such a way, I figured an answer after a bit of testing. You need to type in it as following: (r=0.0,g=0.0,b=0.0,a=0.0) ![129248-screenshot.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/f/0/1f035f1daf97a3f2f952198924fce21588aac1cd.png) Works in 4.14 for me. ---

Awesome! This works, thanks!!! Nonetheless, it should be changed to a color picker. ---
