Sigh, Corel Draw just seems to get worse and worse.
I double click color to get the hex value (website design) but I cannot copy and paste? Is there a place to copy and paste or, in 2020, I'm back to re-tying things?
What are you double clicking, in Draw or a web site?
From Corel I eye dropper then have to add to palette, then double click color square.
Yes, but how can I get the HEX value to put into my web design? Not to repeat myself, but right now, I double click the color square and the diaglue witll the values (RGB, CMYK, HEX, ETC comes up), but I cannot select/copy paste. I have to re-type them. Does that make sense? Do I need a screenshot?
Are you trying to use CorelDRAW to "sample" a color from your display - and then you want to copy the hex value to use that value in some other software?
Theoretical Scenario
1). Take customers bitmap logo
2) Sample color from logo
3) Retrieve Hex value for website
As I mentioned above, I can do the sampling, it's copying and pasting the HEX value that is no longer allowed (grayed out)
Another thing you might want to have is Pixeur:
You can click... and click... and click... to save a list of colors - and then go back to review those colors and get the hex values. Or, copy them as you go. You can copy the hex value to the Clipboard with a single click on "copy".
This was available for free, but the company no longer has it available for download from their web site. It's still available some places online. If you can't find it easily, then contact me through the forum messaging system.
I used to use that, but I'm hoping Corel can manage something this basic. Last version it worked, this version it's grayed out.
Did you see my earlier comment about

If you are looking at something like the "Edit Fill" dialog, then those values are grayed out if it is in Color palettes mode. If it's in Color viewers mode, then the values can be accessed for copy/paste/edit.
Sorry, not sure about the terms. Did the steps I am taking (in the previous reply) make sense?

Please show a screenshot of where you are seeing a hex value, but it is "grayed out".
There are lots of "colored squares" in CorelDRAW, and I really don't know for sure which one you are clicking.
