Description mybugzilla 2025-04-23 05:45:02 UTC 
Description:
Most desktop apps and word processors let you select a custom color from elsewhere on your screen using the eyedropper icon but unable to find this in libreoffice.

Actual Results:
I have to use another program like google docs to use their eyedropper tool, select a color, copy its hex code, and then come back to libreoffice to put in that hex code. too many steps.

Expected Results:
Ability to select a color from my screen


Reproducible: Always

Yes, such tool would be useful. But I think we should have only one enhancement request for all kind of use cases. Thus marking as duplicate.
