If you want to use a color in PSP that matches something you see on a web site, or on your Windows Desktop, or on the visible screen for any other program, this can easily be done from PSP. To capture the a color like this, you must be able to see both PSP and the application/window from which you want to capture the color. You may need to resize the PSP window.
To capture a color, set your Foreground or Background Material to Color, place your cursor over the Foreground or Background Material box, hold down the CTRL key, move the sampling eye dropper to the area on your screen where you want to capture the color. As you move across the screen, you will see the Sampling Screen tool tip follow the cursor. When you have the color you want in the Sampling Screen color box, left-click to capture the color:
