Modernised Color Picker

The Edit Color window is very dated. It needs the ability to input hex color codes and should probably have an eyedropper as well.

If I currently want to colour match something, I have to use the eyedropper in Photoshop and then break down the RGB values to input into Archicad.

I would suggest copying something like the Unreal Engine color picker which works well:

Rhino's Select Color window can also be used for reference:

Add to that a proper palette/swatch function.

Great idea!

Also, for example, Blender allows you to use the entire screens to pick a color.

You can have an image open in a web browser on one screen and when you hit the pipette, you can get any color from anywhere visible on the monitor (software UI, that image, software icons etc). Basically I'm assuming it makes a temporary screenshot which lets you pick the desired color from anywhere.

Also, please let us save more than 16 colours in Custom Colours (or whatever it will be)

Very dated is just a very nice way of saying it’s complete crap. Would be a highly appreciated fix!
