WOW. 2024 and this is still happening. Just got an iPad so I could work on designs away from my desk and the fact that I cannot just paste in hex codes is an actual deal breaker. I work with clients who have hex numbers in their brand guidelines, these specific hex numbers are the only colors that I can use. This feature is BROKEN. If you can't paste in a hex code, and can't type one in without Illustrator telling you halfway through typing, "Nope. Here, use this other color you probably don't want," then what is that feature for? Just to see what the hex number is? Why even add the option to edit that number?
