1. An apparatus comprising:
a display screen;
a communications circuit; and
a control circuit configured to:
display, on the display screen, a warm/cool actuator and a full color actuator, wherein the warm/cool actuator is configured to display a first control interface on the display screen that is configured to allow a user to control a color of a lighting load within a range of correlated color temperatures (CCTs), and wherein the full color actuator is configured to display a second control interface on the display screen that is configured to allow the user to control the color of the lighting load within a full color gamut;
in response to detecting an actuation of the warm/cool actuator, display the first control interface, wherein the first control interface comprises a first color palette configured to display the range of CCTs from a warm white color at a first end of the first color palette to a cool white color at a second end of the first color palette;
in response to detecting an actuation of the full color actuator, display the second control interface, wherein the second control interface comprises a second color palette configured to display the full color gamut, and wherein the second color palette comprises white colors within the full color gamut on one side of the second color palette to enable the user to select between the white colors and other colors within the full color gamut;
detect a selected color on the first color palette or the second color palette; and
responsive to detecting the selected color on the first color palette or the second color palette, communicate via the communications circuit a message to a lighting control device that is configured to perform the control of the lighting load to the selected color on the first color palette or the second color palette.
