Sampling colors from a color pop-up window

When a color pop-up window is open, the pointer becomes a special eyedropper that can take up colors from almost anywhere on the screen. This is known as sampling.

To sample a color from anywhere on the screen for the current color box:

1. Click any color box.

   The color pop-up window opens, and the pointer changes to an eyedropper.

2. Click anywhere in the Fireworks workspace to select a color for the color box.

   The color is applied to the characteristic or feature associated with the color box, and the color pop-up window closes.

   TIP

   Shift-click to select a websafe color.
