In Impress/Draw, there is a non-modal dialog at Tools > Color Replacer that has a feature tooltiped as 'pipette' that will allow a user to pick a color from their document and this feature would be useful to be integrated into the sidebar next to old and new color controls, as well as being integrated into the new color picker dialog, if it is possible as the custom color button in the dialog opens a modal color pick dialog.
Setting to NEW.
Hi Yousuf, not sure, if we mean the same thing: It would be a useful feature, to have a pipette-tool (like in impress->tools->color replacer) in all custom-color-dialogues to define user-defined-colors. Thomas
Hi Thomas, Yes we are talking about the same thing.
Another place where the pipette already exists is Edit contour command on an image. Mention it here for a implementer to unify and check for regressions in most possible affected places.
The integration of such an 'pipette'-tool in the color picker dialog of all LO-components would be a very useful thing. A few days ago I installed new LO 6.0.0.3 and this feature isn't still implemented.
I would like to see this feature implemented as well. It would be a useful feature, especially in LibreOffice Draw, and would help replace "Paint" type programs.

Hi all It's very annoying to not dispose of a real color picker in Libre Office. In 2021, even a web browser like Firefox has a real color picker. A lot of software now have excellent color picker but not LibreOffice. I could use these software to do the job but, hey, LibreOffice is a professional office productivity suite. Thanks a lot to think to embed this RFE in a next version. Tip : the code seems already exist but the feature is not correctly implemented. ;)

Created attachment 185931 [details] the dropper function is badly needed the dropper function is very necessary for the choice of colors on the screen
Current function of the LO implemented "pipette" tool is limited to color selection from the canvas extent of the current LO module. The MS "Eyedropper" from its "Theme Colors" picker (shown in attachment) behaves the same--only from the canvas of the current document. Scope of the LO pick could probably expand to canvas of any active LO module, e.g. pick a color from draw for an object on writer canvas. But ideally expand to the entire os/DE desktop to allow picking a color from outside LO if the os/DE can support it. E.g. to pick a color from a webbrowser or image editor and add to palette in LO. But that might be out of scope (it is already trivial to extract RGB externally, then enter directly via LO "Custom color...").
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #12) I think you're suggesting something well beyond the ask here... first, let's have a "pipette" selecting from the canvas extent of the current module - which is what this bug (and dupes) were opened about. When that's added, then would be the time to discuss possibly extending the scope to other modules/outside LO.
(In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #13) > (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #12) Exactly, I mean that, that they add the dropper function, and later we will see if it expands to the entire operating system
(In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #13) No argument from me ;-) So yes, getting the "pipette" for the sd Tools -> Color Replacer... integrated into our Color palette pick widget is the crux of the ask.
Hi, I think it's very useful to be integrated in all programs that use colour in LO including Writer and Calc. Now, it's not useful only in Draw and Impress.
