Mike, I haven't yet figured that out. Perhaps the feature is
available in OmniGraffle Pro, but I haven't found it in the cheaper
version.
But here's a workaround: Get the Paciello Group's free Colour
Contrast Analyser for Mac, from http://fwd4.me/A7S. Then use it to
sample each of the colors you need for your design. You can read the
hexadecimal values of the sampled colors in the Colour Contrast
Analyser interface.
It sounds klugier than it really is. Still, I'm puzzled as to why I
can't quickly find a way to read the hex values from OmniGraffle
itself.
I have the pro version and still don't know where to grab the hex values.
Thanks for the tip. I'm doing what I think you're suggesting, with the built-in DigitalColor Meter utility on my macbook. I simply hover the color to see its values. Still, this is clunky.
I might need to jump back to Illustrator for my wireframes... even though I love the Konigi wireframe stencils for 'graffle. :)

May not be the best way...but here is what I have been known to do:
- Take the hex # value. However it is that you are getting that.
- Throw it in PhotoShop and look at the RBG #s that are associated to
it.
- Use the RGB #s in graffile
