Options for configuring colour grid tool tips can be found on the Appearance tab in the Options dialogue.
Enter a formatting string into the Tool Tip Format field. Formats can include both plain text and tokens. Tokens will be automatically substituted with the appropriate attributes from the source 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
