Wondering if anyone can think of a way of displaying a hexadecimal value as a color in a record. I have a table listing ink colors and it would be great to have a reference for what the color actually is.

This is pretty easy to do in google sheets, as you can just type a hex code and it will automatically make the cell that color. Haven’t worked out if this is even possible in airtable. I have thought about just uploading an image of each color but this seems like a lot of tedious busy work.

I have done this previously in a Filemaker database by using the web viewer in a record and setting the background to the hex value.

The image below is for reference of what I am talking about.
