Workspace does not highlight the color, when highlighting the color code in CSS. Why is that?

body { background-color:#fff; color:#999; }

For example, when I hover on #fff or #999, the color sample does not appear in a box.

Hi Katelyn,

Are you using firefox? I seem to remember someone saying that feature doesn't work in firefox.

You may want to try it out in chrome to see if the color preview is working there.

I just verified that the color preview does work in chrome.

In menu go to View and make sure that 'Quick View on Hover' is checked
