Sample Images with the Eyedropper
Use the Eyedropper tool to sample colors from placed images.
With the Eyedropper tool selected, move over the desired color
in the placed image. Click to sample the color, then click the
New Swatch icon in the Swatches palette, or Add to Swatches
from the Color palette to store the color as a swatch. The
eyedropper samples the color in the same color mode as the
placed graphic. For example, sampling an RGB image creates an
RGB swatch. Now you can apply that new color to an item by
clicking on it with the full Eyedropper. When you want to sample
a new color, be sure to use Option/Alt-click to get the empty
Eyedropper
