I don't think there's anything built into HA that will do what you want. You might consider the light-entity-card. I haven't used it myself, but it looks like it might do what you want.

i can open the light ams select the colour wheel id just like that as a tile seams like it should be obvisue option. i can say alexa bedeoom red and it works im sure there is a way might just take some more searching

Did you look at the link I posted? It literally does what you want by showing just the color wheel as a card...

type: custom:light-entity-card
entity: light.hallway
color_wheel: true
persist_features: true
shorten_cards: false
hide_header: true
brightness: false
color_temp: false
color_picker: true

#

Personally, I just use a couple of oversized buttons for brightness and color control (3 color & 2 temperature).

I'm trying to use these rgb widget for the dashboard. How come the preset doesn't work unless I open the device "page"?

Not sure which rgb widget you're using but the one that I tried before had to have the presets defined in the card. I don't think they are able to "see" the presets that the device has defined in HA.
This is ultimately why I went with the buttons that I showed above in the screenshot. It gave me more control over the design and made the buttons look more like the rest of the buttons that I had on my dashboard.

ahh that makes sense this one probably needs some config in the card as well but it's weird to show those 4 colors, clickable as buttons.. but it has no effect

#

oh the buttons were actually tied to another, not configured, entity..

#

it can be edited like this..

I found this card as a default preset in the latest HA version.. it's new to me too

#

i like the one you got with independant brightness and hue control however
