## What it is
ColorHighlighter is a Sublime Text 2/3 plugin that previews color values like hex codes, rgb() values, and named colors by underlaying them with their real color, as colored blocks, or as gutter icons. It also includes a color picker and color format converter for editing colors directly in the editor.

## Use cases
- preview hex color codes in sublime text
- see css colors inline while editing
- pick colors from a color picker in the editor
- convert colors between hex rgb hsl formats
- highlight color values with gutter icons
- visualize color codes in stylesheets

## When to choose
- you use Sublime Text 2 or 3 and work with CSS, SCSS, or any code containing color values
- you want inline color previews, gutter icons, or a built-in color picker without switching tools

## When to avoid
- you use a different editor like VS Code, which has native or actively maintained color highlighting
- you need a plugin that is actively maintained - the last release was in 2018
- gutter icons are required but you cannot install ImageMagick
