when I hover over a color in workspaces (i.e, #6ab47b), the color does not appear. any ideas why it doesn't?

Just curious as to why it doesn't appear on my workspace.

Hi Allyson,

I have no idea why the colour isn't displayed sorry :(

Are you typing in the code or pasting it? (try doing the opposite),

Try logging out then back in,

Try restarting your browser,

Try using a different browser,

They are all my usual suggestions for this problem.

Hope this helps.

Hi Allyson,

Are you using firefox?

I haven't checked recently but I know the color preview wasn't supported in firefox but did work in chrome.

I was using Firefox. Started using Chrome and it works just fine. Thanks for the tip!
