[chimerax-users] Feature suggestion - show color code in picker?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Oliver,
We are using the system color editor.  It is not a part of the ChimeraX code or anything we would be modifying, although happy to take praise :-). 

However, if you're on a Mac and you mean the hex code, it is shown in the "RGB sliders" pane of the color editor.  You can still use the picker to pick what you want, and then switch to that pane.  See attached screenshot.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
