Gmail – What colours have already been used in Gmail compose

gmailgmail-text-editor

When composing an email in Gmail I colour some parts of the text.

Sometimes I'd like to know what colour I've used earlier in the email.

Is there a way to see this? Some other inline editors allow you to see the underlying HTML and you can derive the colour from that but not, as far as I can see, in Gmail.

I wondered if there was some sort of addon which might do it?

If you're using the Chrome browser, select that earlier mail and right-click and select "inspect element". Check the HTML code of corresponding block.
