How do you use eyedropper in slides?

You can use the eyedropper tool in Google Slides to select a color from an existing element on your slide and apply it to another element.

Here's a breakdown of how to use the eyedropper tool:

1. Select the Text or Shape: First, choose the text or shape you want to change the color of. For text, you can simply select the text box. For shapes, click on the shape itself.
2. Open the Color Palette: Depending on what you selected, you'll go to either the "Text color" option, or the "Fill Color" option.
3. Access the Custom Color Option: In the color palette, you should find a "Custom" option. Click this.
4. Use the Eyedropper Tool: Inside the custom color window, you will see an eyedropper icon. This tool allows you to "pick" a color.
5. Select the Desired Color: Click on the eyedropper icon, and then move your cursor to the element on the slide that has the color you want to use. Click on that element. The color selected will appear in the custom color window.
6. Apply the Color: After the desired color is displayed, click "OK" or the equivalent to apply the new color to the initially selected text or shape.

• Practical Insight: The eyedropper is especially useful for ensuring consistency in color schemes across different elements in your slides.
• Example: If you have a logo with specific colors, you can use the eyedropper to select those colors and apply them to your text and shapes, ensuring a professional and cohesive design.
• Color Matching: You can also use the eyedropper to match colors from images imported into the slides.
