Maya 2011 colour intensity value limited to 1000

You might of noticed that the color values cannot exceed the 1000 as a hard limit

We have this issue logged as a change request against Maya 2011, however a simple workaround is to use MEL script
settAttr
setAttr "lambert1.color" -type double3 100 100 100 ;

I cant seem to get this to work. after running the script it dosnt do much to change values over 1000

Thanks for bringing this up, Owen! It was quite a let down when I realized that I couldn't push the colour values over the limit.

hi Kiernan,

not at this time; the color space option in the color Picker is not stored as an optionVar in your userPrefs.mel. Your suggestion is already on the list of modifications for a future release.

cheers,

Is there a way to make the default color picker HSV, not RGB?
