Hover over in editor shows colors??

OMG! What Text Editor are you using where you can hover over hex colors and it shows you what they look like. That doesn't appear to work on Sublime Text. What a cool feature.

I used to use Coda they have that feature.

However I use sublime text and have a colour picker on my mac linked to a short code. That way if there's a colour I like I snap it and it's on my clipboard ready to paste!

They are using the inbuilt text editor for Treehouse called Workspaces. Just below the Forum icon on the left-hand side you should see a workspaces icon below.

anybody find a package in sublime that has this "hover effect" on colors yet? ColorPicker does not have the hover effect.

Brackets will show you the hex color when you on hover. That is a big reason I have been using Brackets over Sublime.
