Given that "best-looking" is a vague thing that requires a human eye,
the easiest way is to try it, in real-time. Whether you see the
#rrggbb or drag something with the mouse doesn't matter. But this is
an example (single color selection) that is dead simple; whether you
use a picker or explicit RGB, you're still picking up 24 bits of
information that can be comfortably represented in six characters
(seven if you count the hash as part of it). If you mess something up,
you hit Ctrl-Z and go back to the previous color. When it's more
complicated (say, when you're overlaying multiple brushes in multiple
colors), the cost of having a non-textual representation becomes more
serious.
