Description: Different LO apps have color settings which can be made from toolbar buttons: A dialog opens up when you click the "down-triangle" at the side of a toolbar button, which offers several color palettes; recently-used colors; and custom color selection from another dialog. Those dialogs should also offer an eyedropper (button) as an option, which lets you point to a place in the document, drawing or slide, and pick its (composite) color for the setting. That is especially useful for when one wants to pick a color out of a multi-colored background image, none of whose pixel colors are in the list of recently-used colors. Also, and in addition to the above, if one chooses to set a custom color - we should allow clicks outside the color selection dialog to serve as though an eyedropper has been used, just like clicks inside the color space rectangle inside the dialog - but with the composite color at the outside point in the document where we clicked. Note: Marking this as "framework", because it's not specific to any single app: Writer, Draw, Impress, Calc - all have at least a text color dialog-button.

For clarification, have a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Np5Hr34Mj4 demonstrating how a color picker/eyedropper is used in Adobe Photoshop. I suggest we have similar functionality.
