There have been many times where I’m trying to compare the color values between two or more objects. However, every time I select another object the color panel disappears so I have to click on the swatch again and try to remember the values from the previous object. Sometimes I’ll just take a screenshot of the color picker values and paste them back into Figma but that’s not fun at all.


One possible solution would be to make the color picker remain visible if the user ‘unpins’ it (ie. drags it away from the right panel). Then they could select the next object to see the color values and then close the picker when they’re done.


+1 for this!


This would a great addition to Figma, opening the colour picker every time when comparing HSL values is tedious


+1 It’s such a pain!


Please fix this.


+1 Please add this feature


+1 Please fix this! It would save so much time building color palettes.


Building a color palette to add to a mood board is too time-consuming, I also +1 this request!


+1 I really need this right now too 😭


Let’s say the forbidden words: Adobe does it well, in InDesign and Illustrator. Please adopt “keeping the menus open” idea.

The Ctrl+C was a nice tip folks, thank you.


I also suffer from a somewhat similar problem with the Effects menu. But right now I am working on Colours for the design system and this is really getting on my nerves, hence I found this thread 😁


+1

should be obvious that this is needed when working with colors.

A switch or context menu vor fixing menus and tools should not be that hard


I originally posted this back in Jan 2021 (almost 3 years ago) so it’d be great to see this feature in Jan 2024 as a nice New Year’s gift. 😛


We really need a persistant color picker


Please add this +1


Please add +1



Building palettes is so incredibly tedious. Also the colour picker could do with remembering that which tab i was last in. So when i’m assigning colours I don’t have to switch the tab, every… single… time…


Having a persistent color picker would make creating palettes a breeze 😮‍💨


Really need this!

Upvoting. Having to work out colour tints and shades and omg this is painful… Persistent colour panels (and probably other windows) please!


Need this +1


+1 this would be very nice to have


Get this problem solved please.


Currently to edit an elements style, or even view what style settings it has, I have to open up 2 sublevels of pop-overs to edit a style, which dissapears if I then click somewhere else.


The same goes for when your editing colours. Incessenatly hiding the panels that contain the information i’m trying to process when I switch elements is straight up crazy.


Please for the love of god allow us to pin these views or dock them in an additional vertical panel.


I wonder if you did any user testing for your new UX. Because the fact you think this is good and haven’t changed it yet, is crazy. Its like your more focused on it looking good than being actually funcational.
