Hello @Mitezuss ,

• Hex: "FF" = Dec: "255"

#FFFFFF  = White   = RGB 255,255,255

#FF0000  = Red     = RGB  255,0,0

#00FF00  = Green   = RGB  0,255,0

#0000FF  = Blue    = RGB  0,0,255

#000000  = Black   = RGB  0,0,0

@hpwamr

Yes, i know that. But there are problems with colors with 8 digits

RGB versus RGBA --> (A = Transparency)

Google is your friend, no ? 🤔

8-Digit Hex Codes?
Hexadecimal color code for transparency

As far as I'm concerned, I think you (requester) can close this issue...

@hpwamr

i understand the "work as designed".... just is annoying =/

Ps: can be disabled ?

Quick question regarding the rendering of colours... Is this right?

When I hover over the top RGB value (#005957), the background changes to the colour and the foreground text changes to a different colour to make it visible.

When I hover over the bottom RGB value (#808080), the background and foreground changes to the colour, making the text invisible.

I'm no expert on all these colour representations, so take this with a grain of salt...

I get the feeling that RGB+A is more common than A+RGB. @Mitezuss may disagree - might depend whether you are working on web stuff or Android stuff! (How does web on Android even work?? 😄) If that is correct, does it make more sense for RGB+A to be the default setting?

Is the use of the '+' more common? Most reference material I've been looking at simply uses 'RGBA' rather than 'RGB+A'.

If so, perhaps the menu options might be better as:

• OFF
• RGBA // the default
• ARGB
• BGRA

Hello @craigo- ,

You're are right, the background seems to be correct but not the text color ? 😬

• NP3_v722.1

• NP3_v811.1

[hpwamr]

it make more sense for RGB+A to be the default setting?

Hello @RaiKoHoff ,

I agree with @craigo- , it make sense that the default should be "RGB+A" (Web Browsers default).

Why the "+" ?
Well, our intention is to show that the "Color Indicator works with both 6 digits "RGB" and with 8 digits +"A", and for the "BGRA" that it only works with 8 digits! 🤔

I see. That makes sense.

[RaiKoHoff]

Ok, I will switch the default to "RGB+A"
The changing text colors on hovering over Color Hotspots is to maximize contrast between shown color and text.
The "bug" for #808080 has to be fixed.
