Questions?...
Why doesn't quick colour
picker allow lower case HEX
values?
Answer: It is mathematically
incorrect to represent a HEX
value using lower case letters.
A lower case "e" for example is
used in many math situations to
indicate an "exponential" value.
It is also possible by using
lower case values that you may be
indicating a number system which
has exceeded the length of both
our numeric and uppercase
alphabetic character sets.
The uppercase letters from A-F are
an indication of a base 16 number
set...
Base 16:
0123456789ABCDEF
Base 17:
0123456789ABCDEFG
Base 42:
0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdef
