The Color Picker allows you to select and reuse colors directly from your design. This makes it easier to keep visual consistency across elements and quickly match colors from images, logos, or illustrations.

Supported Layers

The Color Picker is available for layers that support color fill, including:

  • SVG elements (illustrations, logos, shapes, arrows, icons)

  • Text layers

If a layer supports a fill color, the Color Picker can be used.

How to Use the Color Picker

Follow the steps below to apply a color from anywhere in your design:

1. Select a supported layer

Click on a layer that supports color fill, such as an SVG element or a text layer.

2. Open the color settings

With the layer selected:

  • Open the layer contextual menu

  • Click the color palette icon

  • Click the color fill preview to open the color swatch

3. Use the Eyedropper

  • Select the Eyedropper tool

  • Move your cursor over the design to inspect colors

  • Click on the desired color to apply it to the selected layer

The color is applied instantly.

Note: When the color swatch panel is open, you can also use the I key to trigger the Eyedropper tool.

When to Use the Color Picker

The Color Picker is useful when you want to:

  • Match colors across multiple design elements

  • Reuse brand colors from logos or images
