I'm unsure whether this would be considered to be by design or should be logged as a potential bug or an improvement... Switching between the Wheel and Slider Colour Panel Models will display Hex values in Base 16 when the Wheel is displayed with no option to change this but as Percentage values when the RGB Hex sliders are displayed if the document has previously set the RGB slider values to be displayed using percentages in the Colour Panel Preferences... When displaying the RGB Hex sliders it is not possible to switch from Percentages back to 8-bit or 16-bit because the option isn't available which means the Hex Values displayed can initially appear to be incorrect (despite being correct) because: The Hex value displayed in the RGB Hex Sliders differs from the Hex Value displayed in the Wheel because the former displays the values as percentages, the latter in Base 16 It's not possible to change the RGB Hex slider values back to Base 16 without first reverting to the RGB sliders Questions Should both the Colour Wheel and Sliders adopt a uniform display method, i.e., Base 16 or Percentage Should the option to switch from Percentage back to 8-bit or 16-bit be available when displaying the RGB Hex Sliders

Not quite sure what is the expected behaviour re this but while we can select from 8-bit, 16-bit or percentage when working with RGB colour and between 8-bit and percentage when working with CMYK colour, reflecting the Document Setup options for both, selecting 16-bit as the default when working in RGB, this, as expected displays 16-bit RGB values in both the colour palette and colour chooser sliders. Switch to CMYK in the colour palette and CMYK colour values are now also displayed using 16-bit values in both the colour palette and the colour chooser sliders, should they be? Change back to 8-bit from the drop-down menu in the colour palette and the CMYK values in the colour palette are now correctly displayed in 8-bit but still show as 16-bit values in the colour chooser sliders and it appears impossible to change these back to 8-bit in the colour chooser even if changing to RGB 8-bit or percentage from the colour palette drop-down, the values are now stuck in 16-bit. Same issue across all three apps....
