FEATURE REQUEST: Add hex value to swatches panel

[davidlower8]

Hi,

Could I please request that a hex value box be added to the swatches panel like you have done with the colour wheel. Currently if I want to grab the hex value of a swatch (which is quite often) I have to select the swatch > go to the colour menu (which defaults to the edit view - which is annoying) > Then I have to select colour wheel from top right menu.

It is a very verbose way to grab hex value. Can we just add it to the swatches panel.

Thank you.

That will be amazing to have. Sometimes when you have similar colors it becomes a little bit tricky to know who is the one you need without the Hex value.

Alternatively you can right-click the swatch, choose Edit Fill from the menu, and then get the Hex Values from the pop-up (as long as the pop-up is set to one of the options which displays the Hex values – I believe this option is ‘sticky’).

Not as quick as having the value already displayed in the panel, but quicker than your current method.

You could try using the Appearance > View as list option. Depending on how the Swatches were made you might see the Hex values, or a name or CMYK values or RGB values.

Yeah this solution doesn't work for me unfortunately. I just get the name of the colours which isn't helpful. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Gonna add my idea to this rather than a new thread, but IMO a hex input should be shown everywhere a colour value exists, so in both swatches and in colour panels in every mode, in this scenario the RGB hex option would not need to exist. Bonus points for being able to copy colours in and out in other text formats like HSL/HSLA/RGB/RGBA

Big NOPE 😆 actually..

but, but it might be a good idea to have a menu that allows you to override the color names in list mode. Something like this :
