Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When working with color equalizer if often invoke the colour picker to see which hue exactly I want to adjust and then have to manually ajust the node placement so one of the nodes exactly hits the picked colour

Describe the solution you'd like
A (shortcuttable) button in color EQ to autoadjust the node placement to match the picked colour.
OR even better: A maybe alternative mode for the colour picker that instantly adjusts the node placement once a colour is picked.

Research direction

Start by locating the Color Equalizer entry point and its colour picker interaction. Clarify whether the completed feature should be a shortcuttable button, an alternative picker mode, or both, then verify that selecting a colour places a node on the picked hue without disrupting existing adjustments.
