So, say you want to duplicate and use an exact color that you’ve seen somewhere and have it scanned in to your computer..... Taking this color data collection stuff a little bit
further (see how I’m rounding out your education already?)...Once
you have the sample points
Now you can do something like use that color that you just locked down on and create a new layer or background. Edit: Fill is one way of doing this.
Do this onto a brand new layer please or you’ll wipe
out everything else on the current layer. The easiest way to ‘fill’
is alt/opt backspace with your foreground color (which happens to be
the custom color).

go to the
Info palette
and you
can write down (how about the Notes tool) or open up your color
picker right away
and
enter the exact RGB coordinates to get the exact color. (this works
great for stuff you’ve seen in print mags or photos and
‘accidentally scanned in’ but wanted to reproduce the same color).
