No Longer Able to Paste In Hex Color Codes?

It used to be that if I created a color somewhere else, say Illustrator, I could copy the hex color code right into the pop-up color window in PS. Now, a "color picker" pop-up doesn't offer the option to paste in a hex color code. I used this feature daily so now I need to know how I can create colors in the new PS CC 2017 - preferably by using Hex codes.

Bummed,

Toni

Hi

Your screenshot shows you are in 32 bit colour mode. The picker works differently in that mode where values are 32 bit floating numbers and the 8 bit hex code entry is not available.

I have the same issue where I don't see my Hex codes.

Maybe it's because we are on Apple and you are not? davescm

This is likely my problem too because my picker looks just like mrbradshaw's. I did not change this - it automatically did this with the last update. Would you mind explaining what I need to do to change it back please?

Thank you!
