Picker?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Often, the color picker is used along with the eyedropper tool. Also notice the two colored boxes in the bottom of the tool palette. One is the foreground, and the other is the background color.<\/p>\n<p>When your cursor turns into an eyedropper, you can pretty much click on any area in your image and you will see that the foreground box turns into whatever color you clicked on your image. Basically, what it does is pick a color from your image based on where you click.<\/p>\n<p> When you double-click on that colored box, a dialog box opens that says Color Picker. Here, you can select different colors in different shades.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a particular color in mind, you can pull on the slider up or down to select your color, and then move the little circle to choose a particular shade. Notice that the \u201cNew\u201d box now shows your chosen color as opposed to the previously selected one.<\/p>\n<p>Once you find the shade you\u2019re looking for, you can click OK and your chosen color will now appear as your eye dropper tool color. That effectively becomes the color you might want to paint with as your foreground color using the Paintbrush tool.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Toggling the Color Picker<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>See that little black and white box on the upper left part of your color picker boxes? Clicking on that reverts your colors to the default black and white.<\/p>\n<p> On the other hand, clicking on the double-arrow at the upper right part flips the foreground and background color of your boxes. Just keep in mind that your foreground color is the one you will be painting with, and that\u2019s it!<\/p>\n<h4>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>And that\u2019s it for now!

At a basic level, it can be used to choose a color, and then then you can paint with that color. Once you become more familiar with how it works, it can be used to match colors, transfer color values from one program to another, for internet use, or otherwise communicate with graphic designers and pressmen. This will be a simple introduction at this point.
