Color nomenclature

Post by Lerb »

Hi all,

I noticed in setting up colors, there is a disconnect in nomenclature. In the attached image, I set the Background color to FFFFFF, which is the hexadecimal code for white. The popup box displays the color as RGB - 255, 255, 255. If I set the background to a different color and want to use that color for something else, I have to reopen the Background color, click the hexadecimal code, memorize the RGD numbers, and then I can't enter the same value for the different color. This is a very convoluted way to do things. Am I missing something here? The popup box and the XYplorer color selector use two different systems. It's like making cookies using metric but the instructions are in cups and teaspoons :kidding: . Thanks.

You can type and paste directly into the hexadecimal code fields. No need to use the clumsy MS color dialog.
