When you write CSS, html or maybe other markup languages, you often need to type colors. A very nice feature would be to have the same thing we got in modern browsers (like firefox) when you inspect an element : - next to the RGB/RGBA color code there is a big dot representing the color (very useful) - if you click on it, you have a color picker to change it and it changes the color code accordingly
Actually we are forced to open a color picker just to see what is the color code, so I open Gimp which is heavy and it's quite unpractical
Thank you :)
Geany has a builtin color picker (*Tools → Color Chooser*) that will also display the selected color. With CSS you should be able to just double-click (or otherwise word-select) on the color, and invoke the color picker (possibly with a keybinding you can configure) both for displaying and picking a color.
For the additional fancyness you're suggesting, it could likely be implemented by a plugin with more or less effort (e.g. displaying a popup when hovering a color will probably be easier than displaying a colorful dot, as I'm not sure Scintilla, the editing component Geany uses, have that ability builtin).
The colour chooser is also available from a toolbar button.
@BarbzYHOOL: did the answers from @elextr and @b4n help you? Can this be closed?
Well yes but it's still really unpractical so I don't use it...

Maybe you should place a feature request/enhancement at geany plugins also.
This can be closed as the feature is released in geany-plugins 1.33 (plugin Addons).
Closed #1669.
