If you use Illustrator for web design and the colors you choose are to be used the final implementation, it’s a good idea to know how to find the hexadecimal versions of your colored objects. Illustrator does let you work directly with web colors but if you need that hex value, theres not way to copy it from an object… quickly.

The way to do it is, select the object then double click the fill or stroke color. This will bring up the standard Adobe color dialog, which shows all the various values of this color. The one you want is the the field with “#” as the label. Select and copy it to the clipboard.
