Show RGB Code for Colors on Hover/Mouseover

It would be extremely helpful if Power BI Desktop showed the hex and/or the RGB values of a color when hovering over the color picker in any visual. 

Currently you can only find out the selected color value by clicking the down arrow to bring up the color picker and then selecting "More Colors..." as shown in this image.

This requires 2 extra mouse clicks, which can become quite repetitive when you spend a lot of time in Power BI Desktop. It seems to me that it would a trivial enhancement to add to the app which would make a big difference.

    The feature of displayig the RGB code by hovering over the color picker is not avaialble currently, to reach that you will need to use third part apps. 

    Did it work ? 👌 Mark it as a solution to help spreading knowledge 👉 A kudos would be appreciated
