Once you have an editor open, you can trigger the Pick screen color command. You should see a small preview window attached to your cursor, once you selected a color, the hexcode will be inserted at the current position of the cursor.

Requirements

This extension requires you to have xcolor installed globally. See https://github.com/Soft/xcolor for installation instructions.
