Trying to match a color that is already in your design? Use the eye dropper tool to sample colors from images, logos, text, backgrounds, and other elements on your canvas.
How to Match Colors with the Eye Dropper
- Select the object or text you want to recolor.
- Click the Fill color in the left-hand menu.
- Choose the eye dropper tool at the bottom under Document.

- The sampled color will automatically be applied to your selected object or text.

When to Use the Eye Dropper
Use the eye dropper when you want text, shapes, backgrounds, or design elements to match a color that is already on your canvas. It is especially helpful when you are working from a logo, uploaded artwork, or a photo and want the rest of your design to feel more consistent.
Things to Keep in Mind
The eye dropper helps you match colors without manually entering color values. For the cleanest result, sample from a clear area of the color you want, especially when choosing from photos, textures, shadows, or artwork with lots of color variation.
