Hex colors no longer show a preview, likely from this change: … https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/233306
If a string begins with "#" without a leading whitespace, it should be a candidate for color preview. In the following code, rgb values show a preview, hex values do not.
```
contentPrimary: '#FFFFFF',
contentSecondary: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75)',
contentTertiary: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.62)',
contentDisabled: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.62)',
contentError: '#ED4964',
```

color decorators should work for both hex colors and rgba colors
Linux
Version: 2.1.48
No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @TimoDavid ,
I can confirm your suspicion. This fix hasn’t made it into Cursor yet.
While Cursor’s “About” dialog shows VSCode Version: 1.105.1, that currently refers to API compatibility, not the actual VSCode codebase.
We periodically merge upstream changes from VSCode, and the last merge was from version 1.99.3. So bug fixes made after that (including the hex color decorator fix from July) aren’t in Cursor yet.
This should be resolved when the next VSCode merge happens, but I don’t have an ETA for that!
