Hi,
I am trying to redefine some text styles to be the right colour. I have the 'right' colour as a hex value or RGB, but i do not seem to be able to put colours into Pages in either of these, only pick from the colour wheel and similar.
Any idea how i can do this?
Thanks

Hi Jeremy,
More precise colour control can be done using the Colors Inspector.
Select the text, click the Text color well in the format bar, then choose Show Colors to open the Colors inspector. Click the Slider button, then use the popup menu (or press command-2) to choose RGB sliders.
The sliders provide a numerical spec of the colour, as well as a visual sample and a display of the range of colours available by further adjustment of each slider (with the other two remaining fixed).
Regards,
Barry
Thank you both, that worked very well.
I have been able to save the correct colours to the palette now and re-define some styles for templates and update the templates!
Your help has been much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have a supplementary question. If I use the sliders to set the text colour in a Pages document, it works well. But if I set the colour by typing values (e.g. as obtained from the Digital Color Meter) into the fields next to the sliders, I seem not to be able to make the Pages text conform to the set values. Why not? Can this be made to work (other than by sliding the sliders)?
I am on OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).
Pages v5.6.2 on OS X 10.11.5.
In the Pages color picker, click on the gear icon adjacent to the RGB Sliders selection, and choose your color space. The default is Generic RGB. The default for the Digital Color Meter is P3. That would explain your mismatch.
I don't use the Digital Color Meter. There is an eye dropper on the Pages color picker, and I pass that over the color that I want to set, and then click it. The RGB values are then populated for that color selection, and the text accommodates that color choice.
