      Is there any way to do this? I'm really tired to click hundred times on that colour picker icon 😞

        By colour picker, you mean the material sampler ("eye dropper") tool?
        By default, B is assigned to the Paint **B**ucket and if you hold the Alt key while using that tool, it will turn into the material sampler.

            Ah, cool. I was a bit confused by the "colour picker" term (especially because "AFAIK" on the Mac, there is indeed a colour picker in the Material browser ❓ ❓ ❓ that you can use to match something... I don't know) but then I double checked and saw you are a PC guy.

            Anyway, download the appropriate "Quick reference card" (a one page pdf document) which contains all the default modification keys for the different tools here:
            http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=116693

            Very handy guide as one never know what he has discovered so far. There are more mod keys for the Paint Bucket tool for instance.

              There is a colour picker for PC as well under the Edit tab.

                  I've recently:

                  1. Switched back to SUPro PC version
                  2. Running on Windows 7

                  The problem is that the "Match Color on Screen" color picker on the Materials Edit tab does not pick up a color from another open window.
                  Has anyone else had this problem?

                    I just installed Windows 7 last week. I am not noticing a problem as you describe with the Match Color on Screen. I was able to pull colors off my desktop background and from a web page I had open.

                      Thanks, JamesD.

                      Actually, it's not the response I was looking for because that means I have a machine-peculiar problem. Arrrrgh 😒
