@SigmaStar I think what you are asking for is tracked here: #8305 - do you agree :)?
Exactly, but it can be more simple. Just with some placeholder can satisify most use case.

Tagging as a dup of #8305, you can add your suggestions here. :D
Same engine would power from simple to complex, chances are we'd start simple but #8305 is the tracker item
I'm no graphics designer/expert, but I think the (type of) values and ranges are (or should be) pretty connected to the format.
Here are five different Microsoft color pickers. Note how they can't even standardize on HSL ranges? Image 2 has range 0-255 and image 3 has range 0-240. Don't take it the wrong way, but this request would only create more different notations...
P.S. I've never seen something like rgb(0x7f,0xff,0xff)
- rgb mixed with hex. But again, I'm no designer here.

Ahhh, no, It's not the same thing. Color Picker is something when you need to know the actual color vector of a pixel from a picture and copy that as your work. It's not a tool that show you all possible colors and provide you a way to choose.
I know. I was talking about the formats/values. If even Microsoft can't choose a standard for one format (here HSL) then...🤷🏻♂️
Description of the new feature / enhancement
There are two types of color formats: 1.hex/oct something rgb(0x7f,0xff,0xff) 2.percent something hsb(50%,75%,50%)
So, what about just ask users to write their format? For example: I want a color output which looks like RGB(%R,%G,%B), so color picker just put rgb hex in %R %G %B placeholder.
Scenario when this would be used?
For example: MFC Color reference not in support list and so on. You can't add all formats of color, otherwise the list would be very long.
