It is possible to set the color using the slider, and send to RealDashCan the current color in hex?

The color slider position can be shared via Data Multicast, so I see no reason why it could not be shared over CAN.

Do you mean the position of the sensor from 0 - to 100, if I understand correctly?  
I mean the specific index of the selected color, like FF 00 00 FF, or like 255 00 00 255.  
This way I could send the desired color to the external device.  
Is it possible to send such a value?

No, but you can send the color slider position as of 0.0 to 1.0

Okay, this is basically not a hopeless situation. Thanks for the answer.
