Is There A Way To Find Background Color Hex Code?

Artsiren — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 23:24:50 GMT

Not sure whether this is available and I just cannot find it, or whether maybe it would be useful for Creators.

I am transferring a design onto another product, and can copy paste the Layers, but not the Background Color. Unfortunately for me, the color of the original product background has disappeared off the list of Recently Used Colors. So I am just wondering if there is a way to find out the Hex Code inside the Zazzle Designer.

It might be useful if the Hex Code was displayed next to "Current Background" on the designer. My other option is to snapshot it, load it into GIMP and use the dropper tool. But I figured it might be a smoother design workflow if that code was inside the Zazzle Designer. It *might* be there somewhere, but I can't figure it out if it is.

If you open the background tab in the design tool, you'll see a little "+" sign in the first spot of the standard color choices. If you click on that "+" sign it will open a color picker popup that shows you the hex code. Hope that made sense!

Ack! Literally just posted this, and then found my answer. (By screenshot, loading into GIMP and grabbing the code from there. Then I saw how to do it!)

Click on the '+' sign and there's an eye-dropper tool right in there.

Well, this might be useful to somebody else as a Q&A. D'oh.

@Artsiren Unless the background color has been added using a png image or something, there's no need to use the eyedropper, the hex code is printed right there, you can just copy the code, then go to your new design, open the background tab and paste the code in.
