How to preview the hexa-decimal colour by moving the mouse over it?

As between 3:17 and 3:20 there is an explanation of moving the cursor our the hexa-decimal values to have a preview of the colour I'm unable to perform the task. Please suggest how to preview the colour. Thanks to anyone who successfully solves my issue.

You should just be able to go into your workspace and in your css part as long as you have a line that actually is set to a color such as:

h1 { color: #000; }

Then you should be able to hover over the hex part - #000.

I tried hovering the mouse over the hex part and I can't get the color preview to show up. I tried in Firefox and Microsoft edge to no avail :(
