Convert colors in Scratch to hex values?
How do I do this? I know you can use browser extensions or mods of Scratch to directly get the hex value, but is there any way to do it without using those?

Where's the colour? What format is it initially?

Convert colors in Scratch to hex values?

Open 2 tabs: One with your Scratch project and another with the hex color picker pulled up.

Then you're going to input the color codes that Scratch has, multiply it by 3.6, and into the “HSV” slot, like so:


And then you can copy and paste the Hex code above.

(#3)This won't quite work as you'd expect. HSV colours use a 360-degree hue value; the hue can be anything between 0° and 359°.How do I do this? I know you can use browser extensions or mods of Scratch to directly get the hex value, but is there any way to do it without using those?-snip-

On Scratch, the colour picker only goes from 0 to 100 (with 100 being equal to 0).
To use a standard HSV input to convert a Scratch colour value, you'll need to multiply the hue by 3.6 to get an HSV hue.
For example, the default purple colour (72, 60, 100) is equivalent to the HSV colour 260, 60, 100. This produces the hex colour value #9966FF.

I was going to post something here about using hacked join blocks with color inputs to get color codes, but the filter seems to be blocking me from doing that.
