layout colors numbers

[wheretheidivides]

Using the designer layout,

1) I choose a button
2) expand 'text style'
3) and set a 'text color' from the drop down color picker. Let's say Aqua.

4) I save the layout, exit the program and restart the designer.

5) I go to change the color and now it's a numeric value. It does not say 'Aqua'.


It'd be nice to have the color AND the numeric value at the same time. The problem is that there are many shades of blue and I am not sure which one is aqua or biscue or stormey brown. You need a reference and there is none. Having both the color name and numeric value would help a lot when changing colors.

I second this plus I would like to be able to directly enter the color number rather than select from the list. There are many colors that are not available from the drop down selections.

Thanks!

Agree,

Entering the color number rather than trying to find the color name is preferable.

I remember at some properties I am allowed to enter color number and there is a custom color picker as well.
