The eyedropper tool can help you perfectly match colors across your presentation. You can pull from any area of your presentation or screen and place your colors in a color palette to easily use them later.

Selecting the eyedropper tool

You can always reach the eyedropper tool from the colors side panel. This side panel can be reached in a number of ways depending on your workflow.

Once you’ve reached the colors panel, access the eyedropper tool:

1. In the color panel, select a palette to edit or create a new one.
2. Click Create new to create a new color palette, or click the Pencil icon on an existing palette to edit it.
3. With a color palette open, click one of the color swatches to open the color picker. 
4. Click on the eyedropper icon.

These steps remain the same regardless of how you access the color panel.

Getting to the color panel using the top bar

This is the simplest way to reach the color panel regardless of what you’re doing in your presentation. Just click the Style button at the top of the editor, then select Colors.

Getting to the color panel using the context menu

Right click anywhere on your presentation and select Change colors.

Getting to the color panel using the property bar

With certain objects selected, you can reach the color side panel and eyedropper to change colors. These include:

• Images
• Shapes
• Icons

1. Select the object you want to choose a new color for. You can also insert a new object from the top bar.
2. On the property bar that appears, click the Color or Fill color button. 
3. In the menu that appears, select Custom. The color picker will appear.
4. Use the color picker to automatically update the color of the selected object.

Using the eyedropper tool

The eyedropper tool can be used to select a new color and add it to a color palette. Once you’ve clicked on the eyedropper icon, your cursor will change to a large circle that zooms in wherever you navigate. This is to better show you the colors that you can select.

With the eyedropper tool selected:

1. Navigate to the color you want to add to your color palette.
2. Line up the pixels to select the right shade. This is particularly important if you’re selecting a color from an image or low-resolution area.
3. When the color looks right, click on it. This will apply the new color to the color palette and close the eyedropper tool.

Once a color palette has been updated, every instance of that color in your presentation will change. For instance, if you change the main color from a blue to a red, that will update everywhere that you previously used the first blue.
