Using the Windows Color Picker
When you select the Windows Color Picker command, the standard
Windows Color dialog box appears from which you can select a basic or
custom color.
Selecting colors with the Eyedropper tool
The Eyedropper tool enables you to select a foreground color from colors
already in an image. As you move the Eyedropper over an image, the RGB
color values of the image are displayed in the Status bar and eventually
change to reflect the color changes from one pixel to the next. Clicking
your mouse selects the color under the pointer as the foreground color.
Note: To change which color square is active, click beneath either the foreground
and background squares on the Attribute toolbar. The next time you select a color,
the active color square changes.

Loading and saving color tables
There may be times during your work that you find yourself continually
using the same colors with which to paint. You can store these colors as
color squares on the Attribute toolbar of the Eyedropper tool, or save
them as a color palette file (PAL) using the Custom tab of the Color
Palette. To do this, first change the color squares in the Custom tab to
those of the colors you regularly use and then click the Save button to
save the palette to its own file. (To change a color square, right-click it
and choose a color from the available color pickers or palette.) Once a
palette has been saved, you can bring it back into the Custom tab of the
Color Palette by clicking the Open button.
