While working in the Drawing view, you can use the Colour Eyedropper tool to pick a colour from your drawing without going to the Colour view.

NOTE To learn more about the Colour Eyedropper tool options, see Colour Eyedropper Tool Properties.
  1. Do one of the following:
  • In the Tools toolbar, select the Colour Eyedropper tool.
  • From the top menu, select Tools > Colour Eyedropper.
  • Press Alt + D.
  1. In the Drawing view, click on the desired colour.
TIP If you're using another drawing tool such as the Paint tool, you can temporarily hold down the D key and click in your drawing before releasing the key to pick a colour. When you release the key, you will return to your previous tool.
