: How to get an RGB hex code in or out of an InDesign RGB colour swatch? I've been using InDesign (CS6) for designing responsive web layouts and, while it makes some things easier to convert

@Tiffany317

I was trying to find the same info. And another way to do it is use this online converter! Very easy!

Take the numbers from Indesign and type into that website and you'll get your hex #. I just found this and I'm not associated; just wanted to pass it on in case it helps someone else. I google lots of questions like this so I know what it's like always searching for answers. :)

I'm not sure there is a way to use Hex codes with the colour picker.

However, you can easily convert the given decimal values RGB into Hex values with any programmer calculator (even with the windows calculator).

Hope it'll help.

Check this post:
Color picker in InDesign

Illustrator and Photoshop's UI has a hex display. While InDesign does not.

You can use Adobe's kuler/color. It's an extension that you can enable from the Window menu then Extensions, that can give you the hex codes you need without having to exit InDesign.

color.adobe.com

The button below marked "A" below imports the currently selected fill colour, giving you the hex codes in the section marked "B". Alternatively, you can paste the hex codes into "B", then when you've filled the set, use the button marked "C" at the bottom to create swatches from them.
