RGB vs. RGB hex in colours panel – two versions really necessary?


Recommended Posts

It could be that this has been discussed in the past already, I don’t remember, but in the colours panel you can select the sliders view, and then there is a select field for RGB and RGB hex with the only real difference that there is a hex value field below the sliders. And I’m thinking: is it really necessary to have two views? Couldn’t they be combined into one with the RGB numbers being shown next to the sliders and the HEX field below? This also applies to colours in the fill and border panels on shapes.

Also, there is so much empty space next to the HEX field that could be used for two buttons to copy the HEX or RGB values quickly (see attached mock-up). That would be better than the current hidden option behind the button at the top right.

From a user perspective: No.

The HEX value for web (who can also use fx RGB in CSS) should be part of any colour mode dialogue. I like the copy RGB/HEX buttons though.
