      I worked out how to do it, should have been obvious really. Instead of deleting I thought I would post the solution should anybody else encounters this issue. I simply scaled the swatch to humongous picked the texture and applied it to the tile and moved the texture to the desired effect. It works fine would still appreciate it if there is another way.Enlarged.png

        Wouldn't the Match Color on Screen picker suffice?

        Just paint any colour your wish then match it to a sampled area on the texture

                      Paint any colour on face

                      Use the Edit tab for that colour to access the Match Colour on Screen
                      image.png

                      Now the colour you painted will change to the sampled pixel colour.
