Q: Can't customize the color of desktop background anymore.  What happened?

I have Snow Leopard and used to be able to customize desktop background colors to go with personal pics I might want to use but now it won't work.  I can open the color wheel and move the color marker to get the color I want but it never changes in the box where the color shows up.  I close the wheel and nothing happens. ( What have I forgotten to do?)  I thought it did it automatically as I was moving the colors around??

 

Thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I'm replying to my own question! I got the urge to click on the wheel itself, you know, when all else fails, CLICK where the cursor is!  And it worked!  I tried to get this answered in the Help menu but it didn't help.   See, the atmosphere within this Apple online community is so powerful with help that all you have to do sometimes is just put a question out there and before you know it, the answer will be revealed!  Wow!
