Actually, you can choose a color by hex value... it's just hidden because it's the Mac native color picker. (We're in the process of writing our own now, so it won't be this obnoxious in the future.) Second tab, select RGB in the drop-down.

Definitely give XD a whirl in the upcoming months, though, and please please do log what you need in adobexd.uservoice.com. We can't read minds, and we really do want to listen to what the you all need and provide an app that will meet them.

I will definitely do so and will check it out in the near future. However at the time I couldn't experiment with it in my normal workflow as I don't use Illustrator or Photoshop, so the then-missing features were a non-starter for me.
