Eyedropper Tool

You can use the eyedropper tool to identify the color of any object on the canvas and apply it to the target layer.

Steps to use the eyedropper tool:

  1. Select the layer you want to edit.

  2. In the right sidebar, find the property you want to change (fill, stroke, etc.), click to open the color picker on the left, click the eyedropper tool icon next to the slider, or use I . Mac users can also use Control + C .

  3. Use the eyedropper tool to hover over the color in the canvas you want to sample. The magnifier on the right will display the color and corresponding RGB / HSB / HSL codes of the sampled pixel.

  4. Click to apply the sampled color to the selected object.

Color models

  • HEX: Hex is the default color model in Creatie and refers to the Hexadecimal colors. This is an alphanumeric shorthand representative of the RGB values.

  • CSS: The CSS color model provides the CSS-friendly format for the current selected color. You can just copy and paste it into style sheets, including the formatting.

  • RGB: RGB is an industrial color standard. It defines colors by varying the intensity of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) channels and their overlap. RGB covers almost all colors perceptible to the human eye and is one of the most widely used color systems.

  • HSL: This model represents points in the RGB color model in a cylindrical coordinate system. HSL and HSB attempt to be more intuitive than RGB based on Cartesian coordinates. It is one of the most widely used color systems.

  • HSB: Also known as HSV, HSB represents a color model where H (hue) represents the color, S (saturation) represents the intensity, and B (brightness) represents the brightness. HSB corresponds well with human vision.

Palette tool

You can accurately and quickly apply colors in the current file or use the basic palette to the selected layer by clicking on the color blocks provided by the palette tool.

The basic palette provides eight gradations of grayscale colors with opacity and eight hue colors based on a color wheel and design scenarios. It defines eight commonly used colors in design.
