Since most designers and coders deal with colors, they copy/paste a lot of color codes. A very cool feature would be to have a quick color preview in the clipboard history (if you copied a HEX/CSS value) or in the snippets (if you stored some there). This could save a lot of annoying try-and-see headaches and would result in a pretty awesome time-saving experience.

Not sure I've written a decent explanation, so here's some mockups (with different color preview representations).

• The colored might be a square with the same pixel size of the standard graphics preview (with some kind of indicator as an overlay?).

• Or maybe it could be a little highlight / text background.

Hope you like the idea.

@Roccobot I think it's a very good feature. I would like to implement a color code preview like image preview. It's add to the implementation task.

Thanks for the suggestion 👍

Man, this is awesome, but I see that it only works if the copied string includes the # at the beginning, so it doesn't work with Photoshop :(

@Roccobot I see. We improve the parser and respond with the next update.

sorry if I add this but.. also, the color isn't shown in the snippets.
Thank you anyway, I see the improvements rock

Supports color code format not started with #. #174
It will be reflected in the next release.

Color code preview with snippet is not easy to change, so I can not implement it now, but I am sorry.
