That would be so much better if it just copied the pound sign and the six digit code. With CSS, you need color:#999999; and not color="#999999". That's for the ancient <font color=""> stuff.

Still, I suppose changing the = to a : and removing the quotes is still faster than having to go into the color picker.

Thanks for the tip!

I agree with Kerrick. That's a pretty sweet shortcut, but because i use CSS instead of inline styles like the rest of the world, i probably won't use it. Come on, Adobe, get with it.

nice, but yea.. wish it just copied the #HEX or did color:#HEX cause i havent done inline styles attached to the actual TAG since the 90's. :/ cmon Adobe, get with the Times, new roman!
