The Color Picker plugin helps you to insert the character codes that represent a certain color. This can make it easier to choose and use the correct color in your programs.

To enable the color picker plugin, select geditPreferences PluginsColor Picker.

To open and use the color picker:

Place your cursor at the point in your document where you want to insert the color code.

Select ToolsPick Color…. The color picker dialog will appear.

Click on the desired color in the color picker window.

The appropriate color code will be inserted where you had placed your cursor.

To close the color picker, click Close.

You can make fine-grained adjustments to the color by adjusting the values for Hue, Saturation, Value, Red, Green, or Blue.

Additionally, you can save colors by right-clicking on any of the colored boxes in the color picker, and selecting Save color here. This will make it easier to insert commonly-used colors later.
