viewing colors in HTML

when I pass the cursor over the HTML color code, the box with the color does not come up? this is true with both the word for the color or the 6 figure code for a color? I have no mouse, just the pad on my laptop

I don't know which text editor you're using, but what I could say is that showing the color in box when you pass your cursor hover the color value is not a feature available in each text editor.

I'm using Sublime Text 2 and Atom and this feature isn't working by default. I know this is suppose to work in the Treehouse Workspaces, tough.
