  • Set the value attribute of .spectrum-ColorArea-slider[name=x] to the currently selected x value (i.e. saturation)
  • Set the value attribute of .spectrum-ColorArea-slider[name=y] to the currently selected y value (i.e. value)
  • Set the value of the ColorHandle component to the selected color
