Request for Native HEX Color Support in Adobe InDesign for Modern Digital Workflows
I would really like the ability to use HEX color values directly in InDesign. I understand that InDesign is primarily designed with print workflows in mind, where CMYK and spot colors are the standard, but more and more of us are working in hybrid or fully digital environments.
As teams continue to move their entire design workflows into Adobe Creative Cloud, having better support for digital-first color systems would make a big difference. Being able to input HEX codes natively would help bridge the gap between design tools and web or UI workflows, where HEX is the standard.
It would also reduce friction when collaborating across disciplines, since designers wouldn’t need to constantly convert between color formats or rely on external tools just to match brand colors accurately. Even a simple HEX input field or picker option would make InDesign significantly more flexible for modern digital production.
