I use the following: (a mouseMove handler in the stack script)

on mouseMove
  put the mouseColor into thecolor
  set the numberFormat to "##"
  put formathex(baseConvert(item 1 of thecolor,10,16)) into R
  put formathex(baseConvert(item 2 of thecolor,10,16)) into G
  put formathex(baseConvert(item 3 of thecolor,10,16)) into B
  put thecolor into cd fld 1
end mouseMove

function formathex thevalue
  if the length of thevalue is 1
  then put "0" before thevalue
  return thevalue
end formathex
