Can we please have the ability to easily copy and paste colour hex codes (e.g. #32a852) in ArcGIS Pro's colour picker?

I work with hex codes a lot going between other applications and find the process of opening the colour picker, going to colour properties and copy/pasting the hex there is really annoying. I like QGIS's implementation of this (shown below), including where the 'Paste' option includes a preview of the current hex code on the clipboard, and also the option for recent colours.

Yes, 100%! This would be really useful.

Note that ArcGIS Pro supports colors from color models other than RGB, so it's not possible to represent all colors in HEX (an RGB scheme) without potential loss (e.g. out of gamut colors).

@CraigWilliams true, but working with RGB hex values is still a common workflow so still useful to implement here.

Yes! I agree!
