# The Color Picker - Add colors from a picture

The color picker tool is used to select a color from anywhere on your screen, such as a picture of a cone of yarn, flower, etc., and put it either in the current palette, or add as a color in "MyYarns" in the Yarn Catalog.

This video shows how to use the color picker.
