Regex for enabled mime-types for Hex and CSS colors

Default value is `^text/(x-)?(css|less|sass|scss)$`. If you would like to disable/enable some mime-types, please change the default regex. This pattern is used when the plugin checks a mime-type.

Named Colors

This option is `false` by default. If you would like to show named colors, please check it.

NOTE

• If you would like to show colors of `Color.decode()` e.g. `Color.decode(#000000)`, Please add `java` to "Regex for enabled mime-types" of Hex and CSS e.g. (`^text/(x-)?(css|less|sass|scss|java)$`)
• Colors may be shown if they are not color codes. e.g. "#feature" contains #fea. This plugin recognizes it as a hex color code.
• If you use the GTK Look and Feel, you cannot change an alpha value in the color chooser.
• Hsl or hsla color values may not be changed correctly when you use the color chooser. (There may be 1% errors.)
