Well as I and by no doubt other developers usually need to get the hex code to a cetain colour, and as it's hard to get the exact colour I would probably prefer taking a trip to some website or another program to get the perfect hex-code, will it be possible to somehow add a feature to DM itself which returns the hex? As in say it was under the help menu, then you choose the colour needed which then wrote down the hex for you in the place of focus? Or it even has a built in text box inside the colour box which allowed you to copy and paste directly from it?

Get the picture?

Hrm, do you mean you'd like this for cases where you want to include a color code directly in the game's code, rather than using the color in the icon editor or skin editor or such? I can see a use for this, although I don't think it'd come up very often. What particular sorts of situations are you running into?

Well very often I need a certain colours hex code, I can't get the exact hex code on the top of my head and so something like this in would aid me while programming a game, I just happen to use colour a lot!

I support this feature too :D

Idea:
When in the icon editor, there's the color pallette and underneath it is it's RGB info (the 0-255 values). Why not add another set of values that deterine the color's hexidecimal code as well?
