Color picker is built in, but not hex output
Authored by: fuper on Mar 11, '08 05:42:18PM
what's wrong with just dragging the colour (at the top) to the palette (at the bottom)?

Some people need to find the hex value for a particular color. For instance, when designing websites, I routinely use them in the style sheets, like so: background-color: #F637A8 (in this case, to specify a particular shade of hot pink).

Can't do that by dragging a color swatch.

(By the way, on the subject of web design and coding practices, the W3C has an excellent intro to cascading style sheets that's simple yet thorough (and which happens to include an RGB-to-hex converter!). And the CSS Zen Garden shows amazing examples of what CSS can do.
