Can you switch InDesign's colour picker to a colour wheel?

The default RGB view in InDesign drives me mad. I'm used to picking colours from a wheel like in other apps. Is there a setting for that or a workaround people use?

Not really, InDesign's own picker is the RGB square with sliders and that's it. The old Adobe Color Themes panel had a wheel but it was removed a few versions ago. What I do is build the palette in Illustrator or Photoshop's picker, copy the hex, and paste it into InDesign's swatch dialog, the hex field is right there on the colour picker. Or keep the Adobe Color site open in a browser on the other screen.
