Sheet title styling background color

I'm trying to set the background color in the sheet title styling using a hex code, which I get from Instant Eyedropper (2.0.0.0). I set Instant Eyedropper to provide me with the Hex code, but when I put this Hex code in the color dialogue box next to the #, then I get a totally different color. It doesn't make sense to me at all.

For example, I use Instant Eyedropper to get the blue color from the label from a Salesforce (app) label. It gives me the Hex code "0xE0A100". If I use this and put it in the color box in the styling dialogue box next to the "#", or even just the last 6 letters of it, I get a brown-orange color.

I've even tried Delphi Hex and VB Hex too, nothing works.

Please tell me I'm not crazy? 😉

I found the reason for the confusion. I now also installed Just Color Picker and it turns out, it's giving the same values. But. checking the code you gave me, I found it under the HTML code. It's not a Hex code. So you have to use the HTML code, then you're all good.

I've got no idea what Instant Eyedropper is, but E0A100 translates to rgb(224, 161, 0) which is indeed a somewhat brownish orange color. It looks like you're getting a color match for the small cross in the middle rather than the surrounding blue?

A quick Google search suggests Salesforce Blue is 009EDB.

It looks like Instant Eyedropper is not returning the correct Hex code. Which I find very strange, as it gives the correct RGB values. Instant Eyedropper is a software utility tool you install on windows to pick colors with to get their codes..
