On this note, check out FerrusLogic's tinyColor library for manipulating colours - https://github.com/Ferruslogic
It makes functions like the ones on https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/ easily accessible within LC directly.

And if you have a Setapp subscription also check out sip

I quite like the colour picker from Apple myself - but each to his own
Indeed: as the OP is complaining about the Windows colour picker I am not sure how helpful
that comment is.

No worries, I find most comments in this thread helpful or interesting in some way (or at least funny, like those expressing a need to pre-announce a post-supper reply :wink: ). And my own comments did extend the scope of the thread to colour management in general, including Apple's colour picker, which Stam gave me very useful info about.

That was more an expression of frustration insofar as in mensa corpores sano was calling . . . :)

And, frankly, sine cibo mens non operatur! :?
