Options for configuring how colours are copied to the Windows Clipboard can be found on the Copy tab in the Options dialogue.
Enter available copy colour formats into the Format field, one format per line. Formats can include both plain text and tokens. Tokens will be automatically substituted with the appropriate attributes from the selected colour.
You can mix and match RGB, CYMK and HSL tokens - each token will be converted into the appropriate colour space even if the source colour belongs to a different space
