When working with visuals, you often need to make text, a shape, or another graphic perfectly match a particular color.
If, for example, you’re creating imagery for a marketing campaign, an important presentation, or user documentation, you’ll probably need to follow brand guidelines that include a particular set of colors.
Of course, you can memorize the color values for all of your brand’s colors and enter them every time you need to pick a color, but that can be a bit difficult. Instead, you’re better off using a color picker.
How to Use a Color Picker to Perfectly Match Colors
A color picker is a feature of virtually all software or online image and text editing tools. It allows you to choose the colors of visual elements like text or shapes in a document or graphic.
Nowadays, the color pickers in most image and video editing software include a feature that will identify a color in an image based on its RGB or hexadecimal (HEX) values.

When you are using a color picker, you can click a space that contains a color in question and the color picker will display it. After identifying the color, you can apply it to shapes, text, or other elements on the canvas.

Step 1: Open the image with the color you need to match

Step 2: Select the shape, text, callout, or another element to be colored
Now, I’ll select the step markers. I can select all 3 simultaneously by holding shift and clicking on each.
Step 3: Select the eyedropper tool and click the desired color
To match the selected items to a particular color in the image, I’ll open the color picker and click the eyedropper icon.
The cursor changes to an eyedropper. As I drag it across the image, the eyedropper displays the color it is currently hovering above, along with the associated hexadecimal (HEX) color value.
Once the desired color is displayed, I click, and the selected objects change to that color.
