Color codes in Photoshop Elements 2024

[Swaters]

Hello community!  I am new to Photoshop Elements 2024 and certainly frustrated at its limitations.  I am attempting to edit a hand drawn image.  When I enter the color code, i.e. 855c16 for a portion of the drawing, the color is different than my previously saved version.  I am certain that I am entering the color code correctly.  So, I would like to verify this by finding the color code of my original piece, but I can't find a way to do this.  How do I check the color code in a specific part of the drawing?

You can click on the eye-dropper icon for the Color Picker tool (or press I).  Then when you hover over the image, the RGB numbers will be displayed in the pop-up dialog.

If you click on the Color foreground (or background) box at the bottom of the tool panel a different pop-up will allow you to enter your desired color number:

If the colors look different than expected, check to see what color profile is being used.  See the Color Settings under the Edit menu and the Convert Color Profile dialog under the Image menu:
