Copying and Applying Colors
 The Eyedropper tool lets you copy colors used in any open document, including those in placed images. For example, if you wish to match the color of the type in a headline to the color of a car which appears in a placed picture, select the text with the Type tool and then click on the car with the Eyedropper tool.The Eyedropper immediately applies the color to any selected object, so you might consider pressing Command-Shift-A/Ctrl-Shift-A to deselect all objects before using it.
Eyedropper Tool Status
The Eyedropper tool is ready to pick up formatting when it is filled with white and facing down towards the left. Once you have clicked on something, the cursor changesfilled with black and facing down to the rightmeaning its ready to apply formatting. If you've picked up text formatting with the Eyedropper tool, the cursor will also have an I-beam attached to it. If you choose an incorrect color or formatting, hold down the Option/Alt key and resample a different color with the Eyedropper tool.As long as the cursor is filled with black, you can continue to apply formatting to other objectsselected or notby clicking on them with the "filled" cursor.
Sampled Colors
The color you select with the Eyedropper tool appears in the Color palette. We highly recommend saving this color into the Swatches palette as a named color (drag the swatch from the Color palette into the Swatches palette, choose Add to Swatches from the Color palette's flyout menu, or choose Add Unnamed Colors from the Swatches palette's flyout menu).By the way, be aware that if you're sampling color from an RGB image, the color you're picking is in the RGB model, which is often inappropriate for prepress work (depending on how you're managing colors in your document). Also, if you select a color from a vector image, such as a PDF file or Illustrator or FreeHand artwork, InDesign bases the color on the screen representation, not the true color as defined in the image!
