    Default RGB colors

    Just done a search for rgb.....no results....
    I know it's hidden somewhere - where do I find the option to have the rgb colour model only display the 3 rgb values and not the web color # as well?

    LGF, try the Help button on the Colour Editor.
    It is the toggle Option 3 but that hides the hex and the values.
    You can also untick the 3D checkbox and you then get 3 colour bars.
    Even the eyedropper offers up RGB/HSV & Hex hover tips.

    so you wanted the colours in decimal values not hex [which the # indicates] fair enough, glad you got it sorted

    LGF, seems I was giving a different answer to a different question.
    You still have a hex number showing.

    Glad you got what you wanted.

    Acorn and Handrawn - I did want just the 3 0-255 boxes but it's OK having the #values.
    Before when I typed in rgb values the resulting colour was incorrect

    'typing in rgb values' is the same as saying 'typing in measurements' doesn't mean a lot unless the units are defined and unified

    Not really ... you're dealing with a decimal version of a hexadecimal number 255=FF.

    R=255, G=255, B=255 ... #FFFFFF in Hex ... = Black
