AndRo Marian Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Show the HEX input box on all tabs with RGB, HSL, etc. Not only on RGB Hex. And move it up. Is enough empty space. Add the text left padding and fix the resizing when focused. Lu4yYdApdh.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 How would hexadecimal input for HSL or CMYK be useful? H is in degrees (0 - 359) and both S and L are percentages (0 - 100). CMYK values are all percentages, too.

AndRo Marian Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 Just select what type you want for that. I would like HEX because is the usual one for my to copy and paste no matter on what type of color I am. Select to be the RGB like 123,123,123 if you are on RGB, same for HSL, or what type you want for all. Or 2 input, one for usual you prefer and one for that type. I like to use the HSL, but I want to copy/pase the HEX or maybe RGB and I can't on some situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 For degrees it is just getting used to knowing that there are 0x168 degrees in a circle instead of 360. And top value for percent is only 0x64. Have to go now, it is getting on to A o'clock here (local time).

willcarter Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I would like to second this. Being able to copy/paste hex codes from any of the color selection dialogues would be super helpful. I know there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing, but copy/pasting a hex code is the simplest and most intuitive way when you just need to match a color quickly. Plus it'd be nice to only have one RGB option, since "RGB hex" would be unnecessary. Snapseed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t be nice for users who are more comfortable with decimal values than hexadecimal values.

GregoryOR Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Agreed on needing hex values in all color panels. All my art work is for web, and copying and pasting hex values is a very common action for me. But in general, the color panel needs to be simplified greatly. One of my most common color actions it to create a gradient. I almost always want a lighter version of the current color as the other side of my gradient. In Fireworks (I know you get sick of hearing about FW, sorry), but it stores all my most recent colors in a little swatch section in the bottom. It also has a darkness slider underneath the color wheel, so I can use a lighter/darker gradient with a single control without worrying if I changed the grey level. It does lack a hex value box on the color wheel, so it's not perfect, but with the "recents" section, the hex box isn't needed. Color Panel Wishlist: 1. Give me fewer panels. Can't you display RGB and Hex values in the same RGB panel instead of having two separate panels that are almost identical? 2. Display recent colors at the bottom of each panel, so I can copy very quickly the same color to multiple objects 3. Give me a color wheel that displays hex values, either by using the common one seen in FW, or by adding a hex box to your HSL color wheel 4. Give me a lightness slider Current workflow for gradient: 1. Click on the dark end of the gradient. 2. Open color panel to RGB Hex. 3. Copy hex value. 4. Click on the light end of the gradient. 5. Open color panel to RGB hex. 6. Past copied value. 7. Open HSL wheel 8. Try to click on the exact spot that is a lighter version of the current color. In FW: 1. Click on light side of gradient. 2. Click on recently used color swatch 3. Drag lightness slider in desired direction. FW - 3, AD - 8. FW for the win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 If you are running Mac you can double click on the colour well of the colour panel and get this Colour Chooser panel. I don't know if something similar is available for Windows.
