Select a colour from a standard colour picker dialog.

There are many different ways to specify the colour.

Selection from the subject image

Hold down the key (or choose select colour from the command control in the bottom left hand corner) and click in the work area to sample the subject colour from a 10px square (the select_area_click_width preference) or drag with the mouse pointer to create a rectangle from which the average colour will be sampled.

Selection from the canvas image

Same as for sampling the subject above but with the key held down as well. (Or choose canvas selection from the command control in the bottom left hand corner)

Selection from a palette image

Similar to the above hold down and click or drag a selection on the palette image.

Add subject colours…

Palette ► Add subject colours…

This will display a dialog asking how many colours to generate. The program then picks a spread of representative colours that (it hopes) will render the subject well.
