Paint Shop Pro 5 has two variations of the color picker available. It comes preset with the picker on the left below. If you want to change to the standard Windows color picker, choose File|Preferences|General Program Preferences and click on the "Dialogs and Palette's" tab.
Both these Color Picker's work essentially the same. You can click on one of the colors in the box, or somewhere in the spectrum to select your color. I prefer the picker on the right, probably since it is the picker I have used since I began working with Paint Shop Pro. The one advantage to the picker on the left is that it will give you the HTML code for the color you have chosen.
A handy feature of this tool is the ability to define your own custom colors. I find this very useful when I come up with a color combination for a graphic. I just add the colors to the "custom colors". Then when I want to create a new graphic, I have the exact color I want available with the click of the mouse. You can overwrite the custom colors by clicking in one of the boxes. Then enter the RGB values for the color you want and click on the "Add to Custom Colors" bar. This will replace the old color with the new color.
