Colour hex code: why is it necessary to type #?

[B-Vs-V]

As the title suggests.

Perhaps the "#" could be added to the permanent text, "Hex"
so it says "Hex#" and then the now empty input area right after?

@Boldline yes, like in other apps... no need to maintain #.

@Pat Will be fixed.

@VectorStyler Thank you (was wondering whether it was on purpose in VS).

@VectorStyler Thank you (was wondering whether it was on purpose in VS).

It is on purpose, and I have to figure out a good solution.
The main role of this field is to be able to copy/paste hex colors, and that always comes with the # mark. But plain input should not need the # mark.

So I think the best solution would be to allow plain input without the # mark, but once confirmed, the # is added to the start.
