RE: RGB colors and Eyedropper

It would be useful to have a colour picker or theme tab to format visual colours. Sometimes when using images, its useful to match the colour of the image to a visual. Currently this means having to find what the hex code for the colour want.

Add a Dropper for copy and paste colors in Power BI.

It will be nice to have a color picker that shows the HEX code of the color of an image or visual that was used in a report.

Choosing the right colour can take time!
O365 products have a better way to do it. PowerPoint, for instance, allow to chose more color and furthermore, it allows to us:
- RGB
- Pick up a color from another picture.

For instance, if we would have a logo, a picture to enrich our Report, would be great to pick up color directly from there in other to maintain color consistency

RE: RGB colors and Eyedropper

When we design the layout and visuals, if we have an option to pick the color from the screen (like in Paint), it will help us to select the colors without going to find the RGB values.

Now if we want to find the exact color, we will take the screenshot, put it in paint, find the RGB values and then convert into Hex. we can avoid this if we have a color picker in the Ribbon.

RE: RGB colors and Eyedropper

How about adding an eye-dropper to the color selection?

It might be a good idea to incorporate a Color Picker in Power BI Desktop. It will help us pick colors from samples.

RE: RGB colors and Eyedropper

The current color picker in Power BI is very limited and time consuming. Having a more advanced color picker like the one available in PowerPoint that has more options like "Eyedropper" & "RGB" will make formatting way easier and faster.

RE: RGB colors and Eyedropper

YES please add RGB and HSL because that's what Office uses and it's jarring to not to be able to grab the values from PPTX and plug into PBIX.

Instead I take RGB from PPTX, find a RGB>HEX converter on line then plug into PBIX.
