In the Classic version of Descript, when you clicked on a color option (e.g. font color), it would automatically pre-select the hex code, which meant if you had a hex code copied from somewhere else, you could directly CTRL+V and it would change the color.
You could also select a rectangle in Descript, click on Background Color, CTRL+C, click on another rectangle, click on Background Color and CTRL+V.
This made things so much faster, I would love to see it back
