When I hover over hex values in Workspace, the color doesn't preview

This happens with just the color names too, but I don't get a preview popup when I hover over any color descriptions

Hi Chris Belisle

I'm going to bet that it's because of the browser you are using. I use Chrome and sometimes Safari and the hover preview works fine.
If I remember correctly, however, that feature does not work with Firefox or IE.

I do recommend using Chrome for web development, though. Safari would be a close second.

Hope that helps. :) :dizzy:

I was using Firefox and experiencing the same issue, it works fine in Chrome. Thanks Jason
