A nice built-in option for anyone using OS X in addition to the fabulous FF add-on Colorzilla.

In the second screen shot, you’ll see the value of Red, Green and Blue for the light yellow swatch I had the cursor hovering over. Just combine each of the three numbers to get your six digit Hex number. No need to dig around in the CSS or HTML on a page to find the number value of a color you like, and may want to test out in your own digital design.
