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

Color nomenclature
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
. Thanks.

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