Color picker Tool

[daveb2]

When using the color picker tool, one is shown the RGB values. (Or the value of the other options)

Is there an easy way within Affinity Photo to determine the color name?

For example, the color I am using is (RGB) 222, 159, 80.  According to (Color Name & Hue – Colblindor (color-blindness.com), 222, 159, 80 is the hue orange and the color name is Porsche.

As I am color blind (red/green) and need to check colors. I can see a green leaf but is it green in the photo?

Thanks

Unfortunately the Colour Picker tool and the Colour Studio will only ever show values and not 'names' for undefined (ie not in a swatch) colours.

If you have a Global Colour swatch defined, then the name of the swatch will appear in the Colour Studio when set to 'Tint' mode, as shown below -

Please see the below link for more info on colour swatches -

I hope this helps
