The Settings dialog is opened via File » Settings from the main menu.

| Format | Example output |
|---|---|
| HTML | 007FFF |
| HTML with # | #007FFF |
| HEX with $ | $FF7F00 |
| HEX with 0x | 0xFF7F00 |
| R,G,B | 0,127,255 |
| H,S,V | 210,100,100 |
| H,L,S | 210,50,100 |
| C,M,Y,K | 100,50,0,0 |
| rgb(x,x,x) | rgb(0,127,255) |
| rgba(x,x,x,1) | rgba(0,127,255,1) |
Note: The H,L,S format outputs values in Hue, Lightness, Saturation order, which differs from the H,S,L order shown in the main window.
Display HTML color with hash symbol
Controls whether the HTML field in the main window displays the color with a leading #, e.g. #007FFF when checked or 007FFF when unchecked. This setting does not affect clipboard output.
Color picker spot size
Sets the sampling area used by the eyedropper. Available sizes are 1x1, 3x3, 5x5, 7x7, and 9x9 pixels. At 1x1 a single pixel is sampled. At larger sizes, all pixels within the area are averaged into a single color value. See Picking colors from screen for more detail.
