Hex colours in Illustrator CS5

[Tracey_at_Sable]

I need to use Hex colours in illustrator, however, I can't find the option. Other info say's to go to the colour picker, but hex is not there.

Is it a colour set that I need to upload?

If you double-click on a color in the Color panel this will come up.

Ah, that's better. I was double clicking on the one in the swatches panel.

The colour still shows up as RGB though. Does it somehow remember that I've entered a hex code?
