On both my Mac and my Samsung tablet the color codes are missing from my Specific Color Selector… It’s been maybe a week since the last time I used Krita, but it was just there…
If you remove then restore the docker, does that fix it?
Can you upload a screenshot of the Specific Colour Selector docker in this situation?
So, I did figure out that it’s only doing it on certain files, but when it isn’t showing up, removing and re-adding the docker isn’t fixing it…
I’m not 100% sure because of the black bar on the lower screenshot hiding some information, but it could be these pictures are made using different color-spaces. Can you check this in Krita via ‘‘Image’’ >> ‘‘Properties’’ in the tab ‘‘Image Color Space’’, please?

Selecting 16-bit RGB/A for the docker does remove the Colour Name, which might be expected if the developers haven’t made a 16-bit name field for it. e.g:

I would guess that 16-bit colorspaces are less likely to use the color names, because such a hex value would be twice as long: #ffffffffffff for white.
Another problem visible here is that the Specific Color Selector doesn’t load the color when opening a document. (It’s showing black instead of purple.) Try swapping the Foreground and Background colors or otherwise changing the color, and it should update.

Man, am I blind! There is the bit depth written in big letters on the color picker, but I search in the status bar…

I think a massive colour name defeats the purpose of hex codes because they don’t carry bit depth information on it and their use is to be interchangeable throughout the internet and applications so RGB and 0 to 255 is the expected. But I am not a expert on it
On my colour picker I choose to convert the hex codes to this range regardless and colour space, range or bit depth so the codes remain consistent despite having a clear error. Still not sure if it is worth it.
Ps was looking around and found this
Ah, right, hex codes are used to represent 8-bit RGB for the web. Since it’s just a set of hexidecimal numbers, there’s no reason similar notation couldn’t be used for other colorspaces, but it wouldn’t be very useful, since other programs wouldn’t understand it.
Approximating the web color of different colorspaces doesn’t seem too unreasonable, as long as it was noted to be an approximation.
