Dropper tool: You can use the Dropper tool to identify the color of a painted zone or line on your drawing. When you click a color in your drawing, Toon Boom Studio selects the corresponding color in the Color Palette tab.
To select the swatch you want to draw, ink or paint with, you can click a color swatch on the Color Palette tab. However, if you have a number of color palettes, palette styles and color swatches, it can be time-consuming to select the right color swatch.You can use the Dropper tool to select a swatch directly from a drawing. When you click a zone or line with the Dropper tool, Toon Boom Studio selects the color palette, palette style and color swatch directly from the line or zone. You can then switch to the Paint tool and color a line or zone with the active color swatch. A nice trick is while using the paint tool or the brush tool or the pencil tool, you can press the ALT (Option) key and your current tool temporarily switches to the dropper tool so you can select and change colors and then when you release the ALT key you are back using your original tool. This makes color swatch changing super quick without having to go to the properties panel while working on your cells. And if you are not sure which palette a color swatch originated from, the dropper tool will find the correct palette and style and swatch for you.
