Looking for a simple editor that allows me to visually edit hex color values

Question

I'm editing a CSS style sheet in Eclipse and I constantly have to copy out e.g. #FF9C21 into an HTML page to see what color it is.

What is the best CSS editor (or Eclipse plug-in) that would allow me to:

• hover over #FF9C21 to see a little square of that color
• right click on #FF9C21 to pick a new color from a visual color selector

Answer 1

Not sure if colorpicker is the right one for you.

Answer 2

I know that firebug lets you hover over CSS color definitions and see what they are. Perhaps there's a mozilla plugin somewhere out there. Alternatively, you can use paint and go for rgb(red,green,blue).

Answer 3

Have you tried Aptana?

You can also install Aptana as Eclipse plugin:
