• Color value is displayed when hovering the mouse pointer over colors in the preview window [new].
   
• RichHint window used to preview colors can stay on top as a reference while editing.

Usage:

• Place the cursor on a color value/name (in a CSS file, <style> block or HTML tag), and invoke the plugin to view the color.
   
• Optionally, a specific color value/name can be highlighted before invoking the plugin (this makes the plugin read the color from the selected text, instead of attempting to find the color value closest to the cursor).
   
• To preview the color at the cursor against a custom color: select the related options from the plugin drop-down menu.
   
• To view color values used in the preview window: hover the mouse pointer over a color block.
   
• To paste the color in an image editor, open the plugin's drop-down menu and select the related option. Open an image editor and press Ctrl+V to paste an image containing the color.
   
• The plugin can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut for faster access using the "Tools | Customize | Keyboard Shortcuts" main menu option.
