Hey everyone,

 

I need help with MS Paint. I use this frequently, and this information would be really helpful to me.

 

 

 

Is there a way to copy a colour from a picture or screenshot opened in MS Paint? If so, how?

 

[Thanks to EdgedThesis, I figured this out. Thanks again!]

 

 

 

and....

 

 

 

How do I save custom colours?

 

 

 

Also, if this is in the wrong forum, please tell me which one to put it in.

 

Thanks in advance.

What I'd do is just make a new paint page and put a square of that colour on the page. Then copy paste it into whatever document you need it in.

I think you'd go to 'Colors', the 'Edit Colors'. There should be an option to define what color you want.

 

 

 

This will replace whatever color you have selected though.

 

 

 

Now that you're in the Gallery-- I'm sure you'll find better advice from someone.

A) Just use the eyedropper tool in the tool bar. Then, click on the area with the color you want. Next, draw or color with the brush/pen/paintbucket tool, and you'll get the color on the page.

 

 

 

B)There is no way to truly save custom palettes in MS Paint. However, you can simply stick samples of the colors you want to use in the image. Align then next to each other in a row from lightest to darkest to keep things orderly. Then, simply save the file. When you want to work on it again, use the eyedropper tool to select which color you want from the list.

Lol, I just did that, then came back to my thread to read this T.T

 

 

 

Thanks for all the help!
