It is just called the eyedropper tool. There is no shortcut key for it that I'm aware of. The only way you can use it now is by clicking on the color picker box in styles sidebar and then clicking on the page as you have already been doing.
One small issue I have while working in Figma is that I sometimes want to assign a certain style to my current selection. The only way to do this now is to move with the mouse to the right panel and search/select the style from the menus.
Often times, another element with the needed styling is already somewhere on the canvas, and I would like to be able to copy that style from this element; however the eyedropper tool only picks up hardcoded color values.
Just bumping this as I use color picker very often especially when trying to prototype quickly, but I end up with a mess of hex codes that I then have to go back and apply correct color styles to. Picking up color styles would be amazing.
The floating color palette window appears, and you can then click the eyedropper tool and select a color from anything on your website. This comes in handy when you want to say, match the color of text to a particular color in an image.
If the HTML/Styles panel is detached and placed on a second monitor, the eyedropper tool can no longer sample colors from the main program window. It seems the color selector is locked into the window of whichever monitor it appears on.
After the last update the color picker is buggy, the colors do not actively change as you move between shades, in fact, it only shows you the shade when you click on the canvas, i.e. to properly see the color you selected you have to click on it every time.
Oh I see, did cleaning the registry fixed the issue? It looks like a problem with the new implementation of the color picker using shaders. If you disable it unchecking Edit > Preferences > Experimental > Use shaders for color selectors should work as previous versions:

ColorZilla is also available as a Firefox add-on. Chrome permissions Why does ColorZilla need permission to "access data on all websites"? This permission is needed by ColorZilla for its basic functionality of picking colors from websites. ColorZilla DOES NOT collect any of your data or your browsing activity on any websites.

Please add an eyedropper feature to the color selector function. Your color selector does not always pick up the colors being used in the document I am working on, for some odd reason, so it would be very helpful to have an eyedropper to use. Currently, I have to use a third party program called ColorCop which works great, but it just adds another step and a handful more clicks, making it a cumbersome process. Constant contact has been around so long that you would have thought by now this functionality would be available, but it is not.
In order to change the background color to match the other dividers, I currently have to hover over a navy blue element, click the Paint Bucket tool, then click "More Colors", copy the color's Hex Code, and then go back to the white element, click the Paint Bucket tool, then click "More Colors" and then paste the copied Hex Code into the color selection box. (the color then appears in my Recent Colors for easier use)
Ideally, this time could be lessened either through providing an 'Eyedropper' tool for color selection based on other elements or perhaps providing a Color Swatch Family related to the default colors used by a template that appears in the color selection tool.
Having an eyedropper type tool could definitely come in handy though as the Recent Colors don't always retain the colors users want as it's limited to the last 10 colors. I've opened this idea up for voting so we can collect additional feedback from other users on a tool like this.
I would like to see this anywhere you can change a color in the Campaign email editor. So that would be text, background colors, etc. Anywhere that nice little color chart pops up, there should be an eyedropper option.
But this got me thinking that since the Apple Color Picker itself has an eyedropper tool to select colors (as I used above) why not just make a hot key with Keyboard Maestro to invoke the Color Picker and then use its accurate eye dropper?
Unable to select correct color in Paint Effect, Spectramatte..For example, when using the Magic Mask in the paint effect, I try to sample a solid color in Record window which causes the little color picker window next to magic mask in Effect editor to spazz out (cycle thru all colors EXCEPT one i am trying to sample!). When I release the mouse, a random color is selected. Seeing same behavior in Spectramatte..
I do not remember if you can do this with MC 5.x, but in MC 6 you can click on the small Menu-Button next to the color field to open apples color tool and use the picker (magnifying glass) from there.
When working with existing product screenshots to which I am adding new elements, I like the ability to choose a color (for buttons, text, etc), but I would like even better if there was included in the color picker an Eyedropper option, so I can quickly match to an existing color in one click. Today, the workaround involves opening up a separate image editor, loading up my screenshot, and then using the Eyedropper so I can find the exact color code.
The issue you are seeing is specific to the color you chose (236, 236, 236 / ECECEC) using the eye-dropper tool. The picker showed it as 236, 236, 236 but when returned via AppleScript, it was 59438, 59436, 59437 or something close where the RGB values are not the same (i.e., not a true gray). If you open the color picker and manually enter 236 for each of the RGB values (do not use the eye-dropper tool) and then return the color, it will return the RGB result as 3 equal values (60652, 60652, 60652) that will then be coerced properly by the script above.
I believe there is a rounding issue with the color picker and the eye-dropper tool as it shows, by default, 8-bit (0-255) integers instead of floating point (0.0-1.0). When you pickup the color from your example image using the eye-dropper tool and switch to the grayscale slider, it will show as 91%. This is incorrect. The value should be 92.5% but the picker doesn't show floats, only integers in the grayscale slider (you can change to floats in the RGB slider section from the action button to the right of the slider type popup button). If you are in the grayscale slider section, manually enter 92.5 and then hit the tab key to have the value accepted by the picker then hit the OK button and again, you should see the proper results back in AppleScript.
So, if the result from AppleScript is not what you are seeing in the picker, just copy the HEX value from the picker's HEX field and cancel the picker by hitting esc or the Cancel button. If you want the RGB colors, run the script again but instead of using the eye-dropper tool, paste the HEX value in the Hex field and press tab to commit the entry then hit return or OK and the proper RGB values should be on the clipboard. A pain, no doubt, but if precision is important to you, perhaps the way to go.
Here's a revised script that will look to see if the user canceled the color picker with the HEX code copied to the clipboard. If both of those conditions are true, then the script will use the copied HEX code to add the RGB or HEX code to the clipboard. An extra few awkward steps (select and copy the HEX string, then cancel the color picker) but perhaps feasible for your needs.
Hi cosarch! Thanks for your suggestion!We will seriously consider adding your suggestions in the near future!
Right now, maybe you can choose a specific color in SU(SU can pick color on screen), then import the model to D5, so that you can pick this color and paint it to other models in D5 by using eyedropper tool.
The color picker is another design tool that has been added to the Canva interface. Previously, I used a Google Chrome extension to pull a color from a specific area of an image to coordinate text or other design elements. But now, a color picker in the form of an eyedropper tool exists right within Canva. To utilize this tool, users should select the element of which they want to customize the color and then select the color button. Within the color environment, there is a multicolored box with a plus sign in it. By selecting this button, users can customize the color of their element using a hex code or the new color picker tool. Check out this short video to see a demonstration and learn how to use this awesome tool to coordinate your designs.
I really wished for an eyedropper / color picker to make it easier for participants to color code in a color that is not their avatar's color because it would probably change during a session/workshop/project work if they participated as "Visitors" and the connection was lost or they (un)intentionally left the mural.
