Regardless what you set the interface to, internaly colors are always real values. If you want 0% - 100% red you need to use values of 0 - 1

Hey joose,

What Srek means is, while each of the RGB sliders goes from 0-255 inside Cinema it's treated as a value of 0-1. So you wan the output range of the Range Mapper node to be Lower = 0 and upper = 1

As I'm sure your aware you'll also want to set up a slider for each individual color channel, if you simply set 'color' as the driven attribute you'll end up with different shades of grey as all three sliders will be linked.
